SUMMARY:

Syphilis is an infectious disease of a systemic nature, curable and exclusive to humans, caused by the bacterium Treponema Pallidum. During the period from 2011 to 2021, 466,584 cases of syphilis in pregnant women and 221,600 cases of congenital syphilis were reported in Brazil. Despite the elimination of congenital syphilis being a global priority, the infection still represents a huge public health challenge. The state of Rio Grande do Norte has been showing a growing trend regarding the incidence rates of syphilis in pregnant women and congenital syphilis, even, in some years, the incidence rate of congenital syphilis in the state has been higher than the national rate.For this reason, this study aimed to analyze the space-time distribution of cases of syphilis in pregnant women and congenital syphilis in the state of Rio Grande do Norte during the period from 2010 to 2019. It is an ecological time series study, with a quantitative approach that used data from the Department of Informatics of the Unified Health System.The study population consisted of all reported cases of syphilis in pregnant women and congenital notified through the Information System for Notifiable Diseases during the period from 2010 to 2019. As this is secondary data, in the public domain, it was not necessary appreciation by the research ethics committee of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte. However, all ethical precepts were respected in accordance withResolution 466/2012 dealing with research with human beings.Thematic maps of the spatial distribution of syphilis cases were constructed using the QGIS software version 3.28. During the period of this study, 3,420 cases of syphilis in pregnant women and 3,727 cases of congenital syphilis were reported. The VII health region concentrated the highest number of cases of the two diseases, the equivalent of1,851 cases of syphilis in pregnant women and 3,016 cases of congenital syphilis. Regarding the characterization of pregnant women, it was noticed that the age group from 20 to 39 years was the most affected by syphilis during pregnancy. As for schooling, most had incomplete primary education. Most were also diagnosed with primary syphilis. As for the characterization of children diagnosed with syphilis, the vast majority were diagnosed in the neonatal phase, with up to 6 days of life. Most of the children were female, and most of the children were born to mothers who received prenatal care.
