Objective: To evaluate the notifications of syphilis cases acquired at a Regional Health
Superintendence of Southern Minas Gerais.
Method: A descriptive-analytical cross-sectional study of the 294 syphilis cases reported
between January 2010 and June 2017. In the collection an instrument elaborated by the
researchers was used and the data were analyzed with the Pearson chi-square test and Fisher’s
exact test. Odds ratio variables were estimated with a confidence interval of 95%.
Results: There was a higher frequency of people aged 20 to 35 years old, 162 (55.1%); male,
203 (69%); complete high school education, 58 (19.7%); non-treponemal reagent test result,
256 (87.1%), 156 (53.1%); tertiary phase clinical classification, 89 (30.3%). The gender variable
was significantly associated with sexual behavior (p<0.001).
Conclusion: The assessment of the notifications was achieved, which may favor early detection,
appropriate diagnosis and prompt treatment to the person.
