Abstract
The objective of this study is to evaluate the maternal and infant care of pregnant women infected with syphilis. A retrospective cross-sectional study was carried out of syphilis cases in pregnant women treated at a public hospital in the interior of São Paulo who presented a positive rapid test for syphilis at delivery in 2020. The rate of syphilis found during pregnancy was 45.6 per 1000 live births. In total, 82% of the pregnant women who were diagnosed with syphilis during prenatal care received the recommended treatment and 100% of these pregnant women attended at the maternity hospital studied were treated in accordance with the guidelines of the STD/AIDS Reference and Training Center of the Health Department of São Paulo. Regional public health policies should prioritize campaigns to prevent sexually transmitted infections and review prenatal care processes so that all pregnant women infected with syphilis receive the recommended treatment.
