RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: Congenital syphilis (CS) remains a major public health problem, and its incidence is increasing worldwide. METHODS: Retrospective, observational, and descriptive study of cases with CS and their mothers at a tertiary-level hospital in Mexico from 2017 to 2022. Medical records of patients with CS and a structured collection of epidemiological, clinical, and laboratory data were analyzed and classified in the Centers for Disease Control scenarios as confirmed, probable, less probable, or unlikely. RESULTS: One hundred eighty cases were diagnosed with a compatible definition of congenital syphilis, and we identified 43 (21.21%) confirmed proven. Among those proven cases, 15.6% had hematological, 13.3% skin, 12.2% liver, 6.7% pulmonary, 6.6% neurological, 5.8% eye, 5.6% bone, and 0.6% hearing involvements. According to the clinical stages of maternal syphilis, 119 (66.1%) were in the late latent phase, 49 (27.2%) in the early latent phase, 7 (3.9%) in the secondary stage, and 5 (2.8%) in the primary stage. Mothers with tertiary syphilis were not detected. CONCLUSION: Regardless of negative antenatal screening, health care workers should consider the diagnosis of congenital syphilis. Infants are still undiagnosed at birth, and only a tiny percentage exhibits symptoms. The wide range of clinical manifestations of this preventable infection can be misdiagnosed for various other diseases, causing diagnostic delays that can have serious consequences.
