“…16 Notwithstanding the existence of this and other strategies to ensure the use of penicillin by pregnant women in Primary Care especially with effect from 2015, the increase in cases in 2014, the final year of the time series we studied, may be related to factors such as: shortage of penicillin on the market; decentralized distribution of rapid syphilis tests in Primary Care leading, to increased access to screening for infection; or it may also be related to late and inadequate treatment of infection, with loss of patient follow-up in the health care network. 5,17,18 The positive correlation between the SPW detection coefficient and FHS coverage found in our study reinforces the hypothesis of scaling up syphilis Patrícia Silva Nunes et al testing coverage and reporting cases of infected pregnant women within FHS services. These actions are contributing to strengthening antenatal services, especially following the implantation of the stork network in 2011 and the Health Surveillance Action Qualification Program in 2013.…”

“…3 Inadequate antenatal care, in turn, is a critical factor for increased cases of congenital syphilis (CS), given that for the most part the opportunity for diagnosis and treatment arises during this period. 4,5 The Family Health Strategy (FHS), proposed as a health care model by the National Primary Health Care Policy, has contributed to the scaling up of health service provision in Brazil. Nevertheless, FHS faces substantial challenges with regard to the population having comprehensive and timely access to these services.…”

“…In the Northeast Region, there was a high proportion of pregnant women with syphilis who have low educational level (< 8 years of education), which is in accordance with the result of the current literature 12,14 . A national research has shown that the risk of infection among illiterate pregnant women is 3.94 times higher than that among women with a higher educational level 14 .…”

“…Syphilis, or lues (lues venerea, Latin for venereal plague), is a systemic STI with chronic evolution caused by Treponema pallidum, a pathogen that exclusively infects humans and is an obligate intracellular parasite 2 . Although sexual transmission is the most common form of transmission, mother-to-fetus transmission during the gestational period has been an important public health issue due to the increased risk of premature birth, mortality, low birth weight, and impaired childhood development [1][2][3] .…”
