ABSTRACT

Introdução ­ A sífilis congênita, apesar de prevenível, vem se mantendo como um problema de saúde pública desafiador até os dias atuais. Objetivos ­ Descrever a incidência da sífilis congênita no estado de Santa Catarina no ano de 2012. Métodos ­ Estudo ecológico onde a população estudada foram os casos notificados nas macrorregiões de Santa Catarina, de acordo com os dados obtidos do SINAN acessados em base de dados de acesso público por sífilis congênita no ano de 2012. Os dados foram apresentados na forma de taxas de incidência e também por números absolutos e porcentagens. Resultados ­ No ano de 2012 a maior taxa de incidência por 100000 nascidos vivos foi na macrorregião Grande Florianópolis (3,64), seguida das macrorregiões Foz do rio Itajaí (3,62) e Sul (1,62). A macrorregião Nordeste também apresentou um alto índice (1,45), seguido das macrorregiões Extremo Oeste (1,34) e Meio Oeste (1,16). O número de parceiros não tratados foi maior (60,9%) e 85,5% das mães realizaram o pré-natal. A taxa de incidência total de casos no estado de Santa Catarina no ano de 2012 foi de 1,72. Discussão ­ As falhas na assistência do pré-natal, a realização do diagnóstico tardio ou tratamento inadequado são fatores importantes que poderiam explicar que ainda exista um elevado número de casos de sífilis congênita. Apesar de possuir diagnóstico e tratamento de fácil acesso, verificou-se que o processo não acontece como previsto, provavelmente pela falta real da implementação das orientações do Ministério da Saúde.


Background - Congenital syphilis, although preventable, has remained as a challenging public health problem until today. Objectives - To describe the incidence of congenital syphilis in the state of Santa Catarina, South Brazil, in 2012. Methods - Ecological study where the population studied were the cases reported in the macro-regions of Santa Catarina, according to data obtained from SINAN accessed database public access due to congenital syphilis in 2012. The data were presented as incidence rates and also by absolute numbers and percentages. Results - In the year 2012 the highest incidence rate per 100,000 newborns was in the macro-region Florianópolis (3.64), followed by macro-regions Foz do Itajaí (3.62) and South (1.62). The Northeast macro-region also had a high rate (1.45), followed by macro-Far West (1.34) and Midwest (1.16). The number of untreated partners was higher (60.9%) and 85.5% of the mothers had prenatal care. The total incidence rate in the state of Santa Catarina in 2012 was 1.72. Discussion - The flaws in prenatal care, the delayed diagnosis or inadequate treatment are important factors that could explain that there is still a high number of cases of congenital syphilis. Despite having the diagnosis and treatment of easily accessible, it was found that the process does not happen as expected, probably due to lack of real implementation of the Health Ministry guidelines.

ABSTRACT

La sífilis gestacional se transmite de madre a hijo, por vía placentaria y por canal del parto. Es diagnosticada en el niño en el momento del nacimiento, esta transmisión hematógena del treponema pallidum de la gestante no tratada o tratada inadecuadamente a su recién nacido, se denomina sífilis congénita. Entre las estrategias del Ministerio de Salud Pública está prevenir la transmisión materna de la sífilis al feto, o al menos, tratarla en útero. Para lograr este propósito debe garantizarse la realización de serologías a la gestante y al esposo. Múltiples pueden ser las causas de una serología reactiva pero siempre se debe pensar en la sífilis. Se presentan tres casos de sífilis en gestantes y su seguimiento en área de salud (AU).


Gestational syphilis is transmitted from mother to child via the placenta and the birth canal. It is diagnosed in the child at the moment of birth. This hematogenous transmission of the treponema pallidum from the non-treated or inadequately treated pregnant woman to her new born child is called congenital syphilis. Preventing the maternal transmission of the syphilis to the fetus, or at least treating it in the uterus, is among the strategies of the Ministry of Public Health. To achieve this purpose serology should be carried out to the pregnant woman and her husband. The causes of a reactive serology might be different, but it is always necessary to thing of syphilis. Three cases of syphilis in pregnant women are presented and also their follow-up in a health area (AU).

ABSTRACT

Introducción: La sífilis materna inadecuadamente tratada constituye un problema de salud pública ya que puede producir gran morbimortalidad fetal y neonatal. Objetivo: describir factores relacionados con falla en el diagnóstico y tratamiento de sífilis materna. Población y métodos: Estudio analítico de casos y controles en el Hospital Materno infantil de Malvinas Argentinas, 2014 y 2015. Casos: mujeres puérperas con sífilis sin tratamiento o inadecuado e hijos con sífilis congénita. Controles: mujeres puérperas e hijos recién nacidos vivos sanos. Se realizó revisión de historias clínicas. Estadística: Caracterización de grupos a través del test de Fisher y t-Student. Se estimó el OR individual y ajustado de "falla en el diagnóstico" y "falla en el tratamiento" fijando IC 95% (p<0,05) para cada variable estudiada en SPSS 24.0. Resultados: Hubo 106 casos de sífilis congénita y 100 controles. Recién nacidos de madres con ≤ 5 controles prenatales (CPN) tuvieron 4 veces más riesgo de presentar falla en el diagnóstico de sífilis materna respecto del grupo control (OR: 4,83; IC 95%: 1,79-12,98) patrón igualmente observado para baja escolaridad materna. Las madres ≤18 años y aquellas con número insuficiente de CPN constituyeron un factor de riesgo significativo para falla en el tratamiento (individual OR ajustado: 4,07; IC 95%: 1,43-11,57 y OR ajustado: 2,85; IC 95%: 1,29-6,28, respectivamente). Conclusiones: Resulta necesario implementar estrategias institucionales orientadas a mejorar el número de controles obstétricos, el índice de escolaridad materna y la tasa de embarazo en adolescentes, con el objeto de reducir fallas en el proceso de diagnóstico y tratamiento de la sífilis materna y por consiguiente disminuir la incidencia de sífilis congénita en nuestra población (AU)


Introduction: Inadequately treated maternal syphilis poses a public health problem as it may cause significant fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality. Aim: To describe factors related to the misdiagnosis and failure of treatment of maternal syphilis. Population and methods: An analytical case-control study conducted at the Hospital Materno infantil de Malvinas Argentinas, from 2014 to 2015. Cases: post-partum women with syphilis without or with inadequate treatment and children with congenital syphilis. Controls: post-partum women and liveborn healthy neonates. Clinical charts were reviewed. Statistical analysis: The groups were evaluated using Fisher's test and the Student's t test. Individual and adjusted ORs were estimated for "misdiagnosis" and "treatment failure" setting a 95% CI (p<0.05) for each study variable using SPSS 24.0. Results: 106 cases of congenital syphilis and 100 controls were included in the study. Infants born to mothers with ≤ 5 prenatal controls (PNC) had a four-fold risk of presenting with a missed diagnosis of maternal syphilis compared to the control group (OR: 4.83; 95% CI: 1.79-12.98). A similar pattern was observed for maternal educational level. Mothers ≤18 years of age and those with an insufficient number of PNC were significant risk factors for treatment failure (individual OR: 4.07; 95% CI: 1.43-11.57 and adjusted OR: 2.85; 95% CI: 1.29-6.28, respectively). Conclusions: It would be necessary to implement institutional strategies developed to improve the number of pregnancy controls, maternal educational level, and teen pregnancy rates aimed at reducing failures in the diagnostic process and treatment of maternal syphilis thereby diminishing the incidence of maternal syphilis in our population (AU)

ABSTRACT

Antecedentes. La sífilis congénita (SC) aumenta en nuestro país a pesar de existir un programa diseñado para su control. Se requiere conocer las características de los afectados y sus padres, para implementar medidas de control. Objetivo. Caracterizar los casos de SC atendidos en el Hospital Universitario de Santander, Bucaramanga (Colombia), entre Junio/2006 y Septiembre/2007. Materiales y métodos. Estudio de corte transversal prospectivo. Se analizaron variables sociodemográficas y clínicas de los recién nacidos y sus padres. Resultados. Se presentaron 36 recién nacidos (RN) con SC. Nueve sintomáticos (25%), 6 con compromiso del sistema nervioso central (16.7%); 2 murieron (5.6%). En 12 casos (33.3%) las madres no hicieron control prenatal; 16 (44.4%) no aparecen inscritas al sistema de seguridad social en salud. Tres madres (8.3%) infectadas por VIH; 6 (16.7%) con más de 9 compañeros sexuales y 10 (27.8%) con un compañero sexual; 8 (22.2%) usó drogas ilícitas. El diagnóstico de sífilis fue hecho en el tercer trimestre del embarazo en 15 casos (41.7%) y 14 (38.9%) en postparto. El 47.2% de las madres no recibió tratamiento durante el embarazo (17 casos); 25 padres (69.5%) no lo recibieron. Conclusiones. Pese a que la SC es una enfermedad prevenible, en el Hospital Universitario de Santander se encontraron 36 casos entre junio de 2006 a septiembre 2007. Sobresalen factores inherentes a la madre, a su entorno y al acceso al servicio de salud que hacen que la SC aumente en nuestro medio. Para modificar la incidencia de la SC es mandatorio mejorar la calidad del control prenatal, garantizar el acceso y captación de las gestantes de manera oportuna, lograr adherencia a los protocolos de manejo por parte de las IPS para poder mejorar la calidad de vida de la infancia en Santander.


Background: Congenital syphilis is increasing in Colombia despite of the program specifically designed for its control. Understanding the characteristics of affected individuals and their parents are of the essence for the implementation of control measures. Objective: Characterize the cases of congenital syphilis at Hospital Universitario de Santander in Bucaramanga, Colombia from June 2006 to September 2007. Materials and Methods: Prospective transversal study. Social, demographic, and clinical variables in newborn babies and their parents were analyzed. Results: 36 cases of congenital syphilis were found. Nine newborn babies showed symptoms (25%); 6 of them had a compromise of the Central Nervous System (16.7%) and 2 of them died (5.6%). 12 mothers (33.3%) were not under a prenatal control program. 16 of these mothers (44.4%) were not registered in the Social Security System. 3 mothers (8.3%) were positive for HIV; 6 mothers (16.7%) had a history of more than 9 sexual partners and 10 (27.8%) reported to have only 1 sexual partner; 8 mothers (22.2%) were drug addicts. Syphilis diagnosis was conducted on third trimester of pregnancy in 15 cases (41.7%) while 14 cases were detected after birth. 47.2% of the mothers did not receive any treatment during pregnancy (17 cases). Conversely, 25 fathers (69.5%) did not receive treatment against this condition. Conclusions: Persistence of congenital syphilis cases at Hospital Universitario de Santander is the result of the high percentage of mothers (among those who gave birth to children with congenital syphilis) that are not registered at the Social Security System or are not under any prenatal control. Furthermore, the late treatment of gestational syphilis as well as the lack of treatment of affected couples contribute also to this persistence of presentation. Correction of these variables would improve the situation.

ABSTRACT

Introdução ? A sífilis congênita comporta-se comouma doença de amplo espectro clínico. De maneira geral,dividimos a doença em precoce ou tardia conformea manifestação clínica tenha aparecido antes ou depoisdos dois primeiros anos de vida. Objetivos ? Descrevera incidência da sífilis congênita nos estados do Brasil noperíodo de 2007 a 2009. Métodos ? Estudo ecológicoonde a população em risco estudada foi considerada ade nascidos vivos de acordo com os dados obtidos doSINASC acessados nos indicadores de saúde do DATASUS.Foram considerados os casos notificados de sífiliscongênita no período, disponíveis também no DATASUS.Os dados foram apresentados na forma de taxasde incidência e também por números absolutos e porcentagens.Resultados ? No período de 2009 a maiortaxa de incidência foi no estado do Amapá (7,14), seguidode Ceara (4,99) e posteriormente Rio Grande do Norte(4,27), Sergipe também apresentou um alto índice(3,42), seguido de Alagoas (3,35). Segundo a faixa etáriaa predominância foi observada em recém nascidos ate6 dias (94,57%). O numero de parceiros não tratadosfoi o maior (57,41%). No período compreendido entre2007 e 2009, o ano que apresentou uma maior taxade incidência foi 2008 (70,91). Discussão ? As falhasna assistência do pré-natal, a realização do pré-natal deforma incompleta ou inadequada, seja pelo início tardioou por falta de comparecimento às consultas sãofatores importantes que poderiam explicar que aindaexista um numero alto de casos de sífilis congênita, jáque trata-se de uma doença de fácil diagnóstico e comum tratamento acessível e provavelmente pela falta deinformação da doença e pela baixa escolaridade da populaçãobrasileira adulta ainda se observa um alto índicede parceiros não tratados.


Introduction - Vertical transmission of syphilis remainsa major public health problem in Brazil. Congenital syphilisbehaves as a broad spectrum of clinical disease. In general,we divide the disease in early or late depending onthe clinical manifestation has appeared before or afterthe first two years of life. Objective ? To describe the incidenceof congenital syphilis in the states of Brazil from2007 to 2009. Methods ? An ecological study where thepopulation at risk was considered the study of live birthsaccording to data from the SINASC accessed in health indicatorsDATASUS. We considered the reported cases of congenitalsyphilis in the period, also available in DATASUS.Data were presented as incidence rates and also by absolutenumbers and percentages. Results ? During 2009the highest incidence was in the state of Amapá (7.14),followed by Ceará (4.99) and subsequently Rio Grandedo Norte (4.27), Sergipe also had a high incidence (3.42), followed by Alagoas (3.35). According to age the prevalencewas observed in newborns up to 6 days (94.57%).The number of partners that was not treated was the highest(57.41%). In the period between 2007 and 2009,the year that presented a higher incidence rate was 2008(70.91). Discussion - The flaws in pre-natal care, completionof pre-natal incomplete or inadequate, either by lateonset or lack of attendance at appointments are importantfactors that could explain that there is still a high numberof cases of congenital syphilis, since it is a disease easilydiagnosed and treatment accessible and probably the lackof disease information and the low education of the Brazilianpopulation still show a high rate of untreated partners.
