Article Synopsis
- Congenital syphilis affects about 1 million children each year, and this study focuses on data from Maranhão, Brazil, from 2007 to 2018 to analyze its epidemiological characteristics.
- Out of 1,426,177 children born in that time, 3,684 were diagnosed with congenital syphilis, with a mean annual rate of 2.62 cases per 1,000 live births and 70 resulting in death.
- The study found significant spatial clusters of congenital syphilis cases and established a strong correlation between syphilis rates in pregnant women and health care strategies, highlighting areas needing targeted intervention to address the disease effectively.
