ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE: To determine the seroprevalence of syphilis in pregnant women. METHODS: A seroepidemiologic survey was conducted in 1857 women giving birth at a general hospital in the city of San Luis Potosi, Mexico. RESULTS: Five women (0.27%) were diagnosed with syphilis at the time of delivery. Maternal factors associated with a greater likelihood of syphilis included older age, a higher number of pregnancies and living out of wedlock. CONCLUSIONS: The number of new bhorns exposed to syphilis during pregnancy in San Luis Potosi is underestimated. The results of this study support the need to identify syphilis in infected mothers at the time of delivery.

ABSTRACT

OBJETIVO: Determinar la seroprevalencia de sífilis en mujeres embarazadas. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: Encuesta seroepidemiológica en 1 857 mujeres que acudieron para la atención del parto a un hospital general de la ciudad de San Luis Potosí. RESULTADOS: Se diagnosticó sífilis en cinco (0.27 por ciento) mujeres al momento del parto. Los factores maternos asociados con una probabilidad superior de presentar sífilis incluyeron mayor edad materna, mayor número de embarazos previos y vivir en unión libre con su pareja. CONCLUSIONES: El número de recién nacidos expuestos a sífilis durante el embarazo, en la ciudad de San Luis Potosí, está subestimado. Los resultados de este estudio sustentan la necesidad de identificar, al momento del parto, a madres infectadas con sífilis.
