“…We previously published setting-specific findings on providers’ and perinatal participant’s perspectives on congenital syphilis as well as social-ecological and structural barriers to prenatal care and maternal syphilis testing and treatment in Kern County [ 6 ] and Baton Rouge [ 7 ]. Consistent with evidence from other U.S. locations [ 8 , 9 ], we found an interplay of individual (e.g., socioeconomic status or SES), relationship (e.g., partner notification), community (e.g., sexual health education), and societal/structural factors (e.g., immigration policies and public health program funding) that either put people at risk for or protected them from acquiring or transmitting syphilis [ 6 , 7 ]. At the core of these determinants were a range of disparities, including racial and ethnic differences in risk for infection and access to prenatal care and treatment for syphilis - differences that were mirrored across the U.S.…”

“…Reforçase que gestantes com sífilis não tratada são mais propensas a ter gestações complicadas por natimortos, prematuridade, baixo peso ao nascer e morte infantil precoce, enquanto os filhos podem desenvolver manifestações clínicas de SC como hepatoesplenomegalia, anormalidades ósseas, atrasos no desenvolvimento e perda auditiva. 30 Ressalta-se a importância de garantir a detecção precoce da infecção, bem como a boa adesão ao tratamento e acompanhamento, a fim de evitar o insucesso do tratamento. As características que contribuem para essa falha incluem o estágio materno da sífilis (estágio inicial), o avanço da idade gestacional no tratamento, títulos mais elevados no tratamento e parto e o curto intervalo entre o tratamento e o parto.…”

“…Um maior risco de infecção fetal fica evidente, se estimar que o agente etiológico da sífilis é dependente do estágio da infecção materna, aqui mais evidente na forma clínica de classificação primária, caracterizada por uma infeção recente que, associada à idade gestacional entre o primeiro e segundo trimestre da gestação, repercute em maior transmissão vertical (MACHEFSKY et al, 2021).…”
