Abstract

This article aims to evaluate the impact of penicillin scarcity on the incidence of congenital syphilis in the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil, from 2010 to 2017. This is a study based on secondary source data. The population sample was based on pregnant women diagnosed with syphilis, regardless of the period of pregnancy, age, socioeconomic status, marital status, education. The results demonstrate the need of better attention to the control of congenital syphilis in the country, specifically regarding penicillin supply and prenatal care.
