Introduction Syphilis constitutes a global health problem. Objective: to establish the prevalence of syphilis and the distribution according to stage in patients assisted in the Dermatology Service from June 2010 to June 2018, and compare the epidemiological characteristics that could influence the increase in prevalence.
Methods Retrospective cohort study of patients ≥ 15 years, with diagnosis of acquired syphilis. For the analysis of the data, two periods were considered: P1: 2010-2015 and P2: 2015-2018, according to the increase in prevalence observed in the monthly surveillance, and the comparison between variables considering early and late syphilis.
Results 1582 patients were included, 51% (805) in P1 and 49% (777) in P2. The prevalence of global syphilis in our service was 7.1%, with a high percentage of pregnant and postpartum patients (54% of all women). The prevalence in P1 was 5.8%, and 9.3% in P2 (p <0.01). In P2, early syphilis amounted to 53% (p <0.01), complete treatments decreased and cases without follow-up increased. Early syphilis was associated with younger age, absence of a stable partner, and more spontaneous consultations and complete treatments.
Conclusion We observed a sustained increase in the prevalence of acquired syphilis, with an increase in early syphilis, which implies a greater risk of transmission. There was also less adherence to treatment and necessary controls. The high rate of gestational syphilis puts the significant deficit in prenatal controls in our health system on alert. |
