Abstract

Objective: to describe the clinical and epidemiological situation of gestational syphilis in Anápolis, Goiás, Brazil, between the years 2012 to 2018.
Method: descriptive, cross-sectional study of a quantitative nature. As a collection instrument, data from the gestational syphilis notification form registered in the Epidemiological Surveillance Department were used. For statistical analysis, the chi-square test was used, with a 5% significance level (p<0.05).
Results: an increase in gestational syphilis cases was evidenced. Care was offered to 522 women, aged between 19 and 29 years (58.1%), with brown ethnicity (69.1%) and incomplete high school education (24.5%); latent syphilis predominated (58.1%), followed by primary syphilis (30.8%) and a high rate of non-treatment of the partner (57.1%).
Conclusion: within the period studied, there was an increase in cases of gestational syphilis and non-treatment of the partner. This study may contribute to the planning of primary and secondary prevention actions, aiming to decrease the incidence of the disease and its consequences.
