CONGENITAL SYPHILIS AND ASSOCIATED FACTOS IN ANÁPOLIS-GOIÁS, 2017-2021

Abstract

Congenital syphilis is an epidemiological case of increasing progression over the years. Reports of confirmed cases of congenital syphilis are frequently reported worldwide. The Midwest region has scarce literature associated with the discovery of epidemiological parameters. Thus, the main objective of this work is to identify the prevalence and factors associated with congenital syphilis in the city of Anápolis - Goiás, between the years 2017 to 2021. A concave curve was discovered in this period, showing a progressive increase and subsequent progressive decay, over the years studied, for the Midwest region. These results showed a prominent place for the region of Anápolis (third place), among all other cities studied in the Midwest region. Despite presenting results, further studies on the city of Anápolis are needed to explore epidemiological knowledge about the region.
