Resumo
Syphilis is a chronic infectious disease, caused by the etiologic agent Treponema
pallidum. It can be transmitted sexually (acquired syphilis), vertical (congenital
syphilis), where the mother transmits the infection to the fetus through the placenta
and indirectly, through contaminated objects and blood transfusions. The
presentation of the signs and symptoms of the disease is variable and complex.
When left untreated, it evolves into more serious forms, which can compromise the
nervous system, the cardiovascular system, the respiratory system and the
gastrointestinal system. Although treatment with penicillin is effective in the early
stages of the disease, prevention methods must be implemented, as acquiring
syphilis exposes people to an increased risk for other Sexually Transmitted Diseases
(STDs), including AIDS. The present study describes the epidemiological profile of
the disease in the cases notified to the Municipal Health Department of
Fernandópolis, State of São Paulo, Brazil, from January 2011 to December 2018.
Data were collected from the notification forms of the System Diseases Information
System (SINAN). There was a predominance of the disease in males (63.71%), with
complete high school (35.08%), predominance of the white race (68.97%) and age
between 20-29 years (34.36 %). Syphilis Notification Sheets are different for the
classifications - Acquired, Pregnant and Congenital. This work made it possible to
identify the characteristics of syphilis in the population analyzed, in the municipality of
Fernandópolis / SP. There was a lack of information, with incomplete data and no
answers.
