Abstract

This manuscript aims to compare the treatment of congenital syphilis (CS) with penicillin with the treatment done with ceftriaxone in newborns in the city of Campo Grande, Brazil. Only children born from 2014 to 2017 and the treatment performed were considered for evaluation. The children were divided into 2 groups; the group treated with penicillin and the other one with ceftriaxone. The results revealed that there is a weakness in the Brazilian public health system in relation to compliance with the current protocol on the segment of children after treatment, mainly the existence of the difficulty of reducing and/or eradicating the disease. This study highlights the importance of using protocols, guidelines and periodic training for professionals involved in serving the SUS care network.
