RESUMO
A despeito das campanhas e outras iniciativas do Ministério da Saúde, a redução das taxas de transmissão vertical da sífilis tem representado um grande desafio para a saúde pública no Brasil. Segundo a Organização Mundial de Saúde, 10 a 15 porcento das gestantes residentes em países subdesenvolvidos estariam infectadas pelo Treponema pallidum, com taxas de mortalidade perinatal ao redor de 40 óbitos por mil nascidos vivos. No Brasil, em 2005, cerca de 50.000 mulheres eram portadoras de sífilis, estimativa esta extremamente preocupante por suas implicações perinatais. Este artigo propõe a revisar alguns aspectos relacionados à transmissão vertical da sífilis, enfatizando aspectos preventivos, diagnósticos e terapêuticos com base nas normatizações e orientações propostas pelo Ministério da Saúde.
ABSTRACT
Despite campaigns and other initiatives by the Ministry of Health, the reduction of rates of vertical transmission of syphilis has been a big challenge for Brazil's public health. According to the World Health Organization, 10 a 15 percent of pregnant women living in developing countries would be infected by the Treponema pallidum, being perinatal mortality rates around 40 deaths per thousand born-alive infants. In Brazil (2005), around 50.000 pregnant women would be syphilis carriers. This estimate is highly worrying because of its perinatal implications. This article aims to review some aspects related to the vertical transmission of syphilis, highlighting preventive, diagnostic and therapeutic aspects on the basis of norms and directions proposed by the Brazilian Ministry of Health.
