ABSTRACT:
Introduction: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, transmitted sexually and vertically. Despite advances in screening and treatment, gestational and congenital syphilis continue to be a serious public health problem. Untreated maternal infection is associated with severe complications, such as spontaneous abortion, stillbirth, prematurity, and low birth weight. In Brazil, although the implementation of rapid tests has advanced, 47.7% of Primary Health Care units still have inadequate conditions for diagnosis and treatment. Objective: To analyze the clinical and laboratory criteria for early diagnosis and management of syphilis in pregnant women, highlighting challenges and strategies in Primary Health Care.
