RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Motivation for the study. Filling a knowledge gap regarding support groups for caregivers of children with multiple disabilities. Main findings. Support groups are valuable spaces for social support and learning for caregivers of children with multiple disabilities. They facilitate resilience and coping strategies following the birth of a child with multiple disabilities. They promote the participation and empowerment of caregivers of children with multiple disabilities to address access barriers and advocate for the fundamental rights of children. Implications. It is important to promote and support support groups for caregivers of children with multiple disabilities. To explore the perceived benefits of participating in a support group of caregivers of children with multiple disabilities. MATERIALS AND METHODS.: A qualitative study with a focused ethnographic approach was conducted from October 2022 to February 2023, in which we applied convenience sampling. We included 20 caregivers of children with multiple disabilities. Information was collected through participant observation, focus groups, and semi-structured interviews. Thematic analysis was performed by applying Braun and Clark's proposals. RESULTS.: The emerging themes were: social support network: integrating, informing, and helping each other; learning space: learning to take care and to take care of oneself; promoting empowerment: identifying and facing access barriers. CONCLUSIONS.: We found that the support group functions as a social support network provides information, reduces uncertainty, and facilitates coping and resilience after the birth and upbringing of a child with multiple disabilities. It is a space where one learns to care for and take care of oneself and where empowerment for the defense of the rights of children with disabilities is promoted.

RESUMEN
Introducción:La enfermedad infecciosa producida por el virus SARS-CoV2 provocó un grave problema de salud pública en la población en general; y para las personas con insuficiencia re-nal, se observó un mayor riesgo de desarrollar complicaciones severas y muerte.Objetivo: Identificar la evidencia científica relacionada con la mortalidad por SARS-CoV2 -19 de las personas con insuficien-cia renal crónica.Metodología: Se llevó a cabo una revisión integrativa, mediante búsqueda en las bases de datos Scopus, EBSCO, Pubmed (con-tiene además la base Medline), Science Direct, Scielo, Lilacs, y Embase.Resultados: Se obtuvieron y revisaron un total de 14 artículos. Estos, estaban escritos en idioma inglés y español, publicados en Europa (6), en Asia (5), en Norteamérica (1) y Latinoamérica (2). Las variables sociodemógraficas que mostraron influencia en la mortalidad fueron género masculino, edad avanzada, fra-gilidad de los pacientes en diálisis, presencia de comorbilidades como el síndrome cardiorrenal, cardiopatía isquémica, sobrepe-so, obesidad, multimorbilidad, diabetes, hipertensión arterial, antecedentes de ictus y demencia. Conclusiones: Se observó que la mortalidad por SARS-CoV2 grave fue mayor en pacientes con insuficiencia renal crónica que en la población en general, asociado con cambios en los marcadores bioquímicos como elevación de la troponina, pro-teína C reactiva, enzimas hepáticas, marcadores inflamatorios, disminución de linfocitos, albúmina sérica, así mismo, las com-plicaciones desarrolladas y que se asociaban con la mortalidad fueron síndrome de dificultad respiratoria aguda, coagulación intravascular diseminada, shock séptico, hipotensión y neumo-nía (AU)
ortality due to SARS-CoV-2 in individuals with chronic kidney disease: an integrative reviewIntroduction: The infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has posed a serious public health problem in the general population. For individuals with chronic kidney disease, a higher risk of developing severe complications and mortality has been observedObjective: To identify scientific evidence related to mor-tality from SARS-CoV-2 in individuals with chronic kidney disease.Methodology: An integrative review was conducted by searching the Scopus, EBSCO, PubMed (which also includes the Medline database), Science Direct, Scielo, Lilacs, and Embase databases. Results: A total of 14 articles were obtained and reviewed. These articles were written in English and Spanish and were published in Europe (6), Asia (5), North America (1), and Latin America (2). Sociodemographic variables that showed influence on mortality included male gender, advanced age, frailty of dialysis patients, presence of comorbidities such as cardio-renal syndrome, ischemic heart disease, overweight, obesity, multimorbidity, diabetes, hypertension, a history of stroke, and dementia.Conclusions: Severe mortality from SARS-CoV-2 was observed to be higher in patients with chronic kidney disease than in the general population. This was associated with changes in biochemical markers such as elevated troponin, C-reactive protein, liver enzymes, inflammatory markers, decreased lymphocytes, and serum albumin. Additionally, complications associated with mortality included acute respiratory distress syndrome, disseminated intravascular coagulation, septic shock, hypotension, and pneumonia (AU)

OBJECTIVE: The objective of this review is to investigate and analyze the anatomical variations present in the maxillary sinus (MS), through the examination of the prevalence of these variations, as well as the corresponding prevalence of clinically significant pathologies and complications associated with them. METHODS: The search process was carried out in the following databases; MEDLINE, SCIELO, WOS, CINHAL, SCOPUS, and GOOGLE SCHOLAR, using as search terms; "Maxillary bone," "Maxillary sinus," "Paranasal sinus," "Anatomical variations," "Sinusitis" and "Clinical anatomy." RESULTS: A total of 26 articles and 12969 samples were included, from which 12,594 subjects had their sex recorded giving a total of 5802 males and 6792 females. The variants reported by the included were Haller cells, Concha Bullosa, Number of septa, Hypoplastic sinus, Agger Nasi, Thickening of the MS mucosa, Deviation of the nasal septum, Accessory ostium, and Onodi cells. Among the mentioned, the ones that presented the greatest number of studies (between 8 and 10 studies included) were: the Haller Cells, the Concha Bullosa, and the Number of septa, where prevalence was 0.30, 0.36, 0.39 respectively. These variations can lead to sinusitis, cause some types of tumors, or affect neighboring structures that could be compromised by this variation. CONCLUSION: As a result, it is certainly complex to distinguish the presence of anatomical variations from pathological abnormalities. Therefore, knowledge of the different variations and their clinical relationships could be a useful asset for clinicians dedicated to this region.

This manuscript shows the results of the evidence of content and internal structure obtained from an instrument to measure work engagement. This instrument is aimed at workers of Colombian labor organizations that belong to diï¬erent economic sectors (commerce, services, education, and health). The instrument was designed based on the postulates of cognitive theory and is structured into three factors that operationalize the construct: (a) behavioral dimension (15 items), (b) aï¬ective dimension (16 items), and (c) cognitive dimension (14 items), for a total of 45 items. The results of the content evidence through expert judgment suggested the elimination of three items, due to ambiguity and lack of clarity, leaving the 42item test. After this evidence, the instrument was piloted in a sample of 460 participants. The item-test correlation analysis recommended the elimination of one item due to its low correlation with the factor. The evidence of internal structure through exploratory factor analysis (EFA) proposed a three-factor structure, with an explained variance of 63%; 9 items were eliminated due to high residual. The ï¬t indicators showed a GFI = .99; and those of residual showed a RMSR =.03 and Kelley = .04; each factor obtained an ordinal Cronbach's Alpha of .95 (behavioral), .97 (aï¬ective), and .87 (cognitive). These results indicate precision in the measurement and consistency of the items to measure each of the factors.
El presente manuscrito muestra los resultados de la evidencia de contenido y estructura interna obtenidas de un instrumento para medir work engagement. Este instrumento está dirigido a trabajadores de organizaciones laborales colombianas que pertenecen a diferentes sectores económicos (comercio, servicios, educación y salud). El instrumento se diseñó basado en los postulados de la teoría cognitiva y se estructura en tres factores que operacionalizan el constructo: (a) dimensión conductual (15 ítems), (b) dimensión afectiva (16 ítems), y (c) dimensión cognitiva (14 ítems), para un total de 45 ítems.Los resultados de la evidencia de contenido a través del juicio de expertos sugirieron la eliminación de tres ítems, por presentar ambigüedad y poca claridad, quedando la prueba de 42 ítems. Posterior a esta evidencia, se piloteó el instrumento en una muestra de 460 participantes. El análisis de correlación ítem-test recomendó la eliminación de un ítem por presentar baja correlación con el factor. La evidencia de estructura interna a través del análisis factorial exploratorio (AFE) propuso una estructura trifactorial, con una varianza explicada del 63%; se eliminaron 9 ítems por presentar alto residual. Los indicadores de ajuste mostraron un GFI = .99; y los de residual un RMSR = .03 y Kelley = .04; cada factor obtuvo un Alfa de Cronbach ordinal de .95 (conductual), .97 (emocional) y .87 (cognitivo). Estos resultados indican precisión en la medida y consistencia de los ítems para medir cada uno de los factores.
RESUMEN
BACKGROUND: The massive use of insecticides in public health has exerted selective pressure resulting in the development of resistance in Aedes aegypti to different insecticides in Venezuela. Between 2010 and 2020, the only insecticides available for vector control were the organophosphates (Ops) fenitrothion and temephos which were focally applied. OBJECTIVES: To determine the state of insecticide resistance and to identify the possible biochemical and molecular mechanisms involved in three populations of Ae. aegypti from Venezuela. METHODS: CDC bottle bioassays were conducted on Ae. aegypti collected between October 2019 and February 2020 in two hyperendemic localities for dengue in Aragua State and in a malaria endemic area in Bolívar State. Insecticide resistance mechanisms were studied using biochemical assays and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to detect kdr mutations. FINDINGS: Bioassays showed contrasting results among populations; Las Brisas was resistant to malathion, permethrin and deltamethrin, Urbanización 19 de Abril was resistant to permethrin and Nacupay to malathion. All populations showed significantly higher activity of mixed function oxidases and glutathione-S-transferases (GSTs) in comparison with the susceptible strain. The kdr mutations V410L, F1534C, and V1016I were detected in all populations, with F1534C at higher frequencies. MAIN CONCLUSION: Insecticide resistance persists in three Ae. aegypti populations from Venezuela even in the relative absence of insecticide application.

Introducción: El cuidador de la persona en diálisis requiere intervenciones específicas orientadas al cuidado de sí mismo. La intervención grupo de apoyo es una estrategia construida conjuntamente con personas que se enfrentan a los mismos problemas para compartir sus experiencias y brindarse apoyo mutuo a través de acciones planificadas. Objetivo: Caracterizar el cuidador de personas en diálisis, su sobrecarga y comprender los significados construidos por su participación en un grupo de apoyo.Materiales y Método: estudio de diseño mixto, descriptivo, participaron 68 cuidadores. La fase cuantitativa se realizó mediante los instrumentos: Ficha de caracterización de la díada persona con Enfermedad Crónica No Transmisible cuidador familiar y La Escala de sobrecarga de Zarit; y la fase cualitativa con enfoque fenomenológico hermenéutico, se realizaron 8 entrevistas en profundidad.Resultados: La mayoría de cuidadores eran mujeres, con edad promedio de 49,4±13,5 años. Un alto porcentaje con bajo ni-vel socioeconómico y de escolaridad, su principal ocupación era el hogar. La mayoría estaba casada y profesaba la religión católica, llevaban 14 meses o más cuidando, sin experiencia previa y contaban con algún tipo de apoyo para realizar su tarea. Se identificó en ellos algún grado de sobrecarga. En el análisis de las entrevistas los temas emergentes fueron: aprenderse en el cuidado; encontrarse con comprensión y so-lidaridad; apoyarse en las necesidades; compartirse la dureza del cuidado; acompañarse en la espiritualidad; reorganizarse para seguir cuidando. Conclusiones: Los cuidadores viven en contextos que au-mentan la vulnerabilidad, para ellos el grupo de apoyo fue un espacio de soporte social, fuente de bienestar, acompaña-miento y apoyo desde el cuidado enfermero.(AU)
Introduction: The caregiver of a person on dialysis requires specific interventions aimed at self-care. Support group intervention is a strategy built in collaboration with ndividuals facing similar issues to share experiences and provide mutual support through planned actions.Objective: To characterize caregivers of individuals on dialysis, understand their burden, and comprehend the meanings constructed through their participation in a support group.Materials and Method: A mixed-methods descriptive study involving 68 caregivers was conducted. The quantitative phase utilized the instrument Characterization Form of the Non-Communicable Chronic Disease-Patient Caregiver Dyad, while the qualitative phase employed a hermeneutic phenomenological approach, consisting of 8 in-depth interviews.Results: The majority of caregivers were women, with an average age of 49.4±13.5 years. A high percentage had low socioeconomic status and education levels, with their main occupation being homemaking. Most were married and practiced the Catholic religion, had been providing care for 14 months or more, had no previous caregiving experience, and received some form of support to carry out their tasks. Some degree of burden was identified among them. The analysis of the interviews revealed emerging themes: learning through caregiving, finding understanding and solidarity, supporting each others needs, sharing the hardships of caregiving, accompanying each other in spirituality, and reorganizing to continue caregiving.Conclusions: Caregivers live in contexts that increase vulnerability, and for them, the support group provided a space for social support, well-being, accompaniment, and support from nursing care.(AU)

RESUMEN
Recent declines of insect populations at high rates have resulted in the need to develop a quick method to determine their diversity and to process massive data for the identification of species of highly diverse groups. A short sequence of DNA from COI is widely used for insect identification by comparing it against sequences of known species. Repositories of sequences are available online with tools that facilitate matching of the sequences of interest to a known individual. However, the performance of these tools can differ. Here we aim to assess the accuracy in identification of insect taxonomic categories from two repositories, BOLD Systems and GenBank. This was done by comparing the sequence matches between the taxonomist identification and the suggested identification from the platforms. We used 1,160 COI sequences representing eight orders of insects from Colombia. After the comparison, we reanalyzed the results from a representative subset of the data from the subfamily Scarabaeinae (Coleoptera). Overall, BOLD systems outperformed GenBank, and the performance of both engines differed by orders and other taxonomic categories (species, genus and family). Higher rates of accurate identification were obtained at family and genus levels. The accuracy was higher in BOLD for the order Coleoptera at family level, for Coleoptera and Lepidoptera at genus and species level. Other orders performed similarly in both repositories. Moreover, the Scarabaeinae subset showed that species were correctly identified only when BOLD match percentage was above 93.4% and a total of 85% of the samples were correctly assigned to a taxonomic category. These results accentuate the great potential of the identification engines to place insects accurately into their respective taxonomic categories based on DNA barcodes and highlight the reliability of BOLD Systems for insect identification in the absence of a large reference database for a highly diverse country.

RESUMEN
Objective: To describe care competence and its association with overburden of caregivers of patients with chronic diseases. Method: Quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study, with a convenience sample. Three instruments were used for data collection: the GCPC-UN instrument for caregiver-patient characterization, the Homecare Skills Questionnaire (CUIDAR, as per its name in Spanish), and the Zarit Burden Interview. Participants in this study were 102 caregivers of people hospitalized in a health institution who met the inclusion criteria. Results: Caregivers were mainly women, had a low level of education, high burden (56.8%), and high level of care competence (68.6%). A statistically significant correlation was found between overburden and overall scores on the CUIDAR instrument, as well as with the following categories: knowledge, uniqueness and anticipation. Conclusion: Homecare competence is associated with overburden of caregivers of people with CNCDs. Therefore, nursing teams have to identify the needs of caregivers and take action so as to contribute to seamless transitions to patients' homes.

OBJECTIVE.: To describe the characteristics and experiences of family caregivers of persons with mental disorders in a highly complex institution. MATERIALS AND METHODS.: Mixed method, explanatory study, with an initial quantitative and then qualitative sequence. The quantitative phase was carried out using validated instruments: characterization sheet of the person with chronic illness-family caregiver dyad; the Nkongho Caregiving Ability Inventory (CAI), and the Zarit burden scale. The qualitative phase was conducted with a hermeneutic phenomenological approach; the information was collected through in-depth interviews to understand the needs of the caregivers. RESULTS.: The caregivers were mostly women, mainly mothers and daughters, home-occupied and self-employed, with basic primary education, low socioeconomic level and low caregiving skill level; a significant number of caregivers perceived some degree of overload. The themes identified in the analysis of the interviews were: feeling fear before the disease; the experience of caregiver fatigue; losing one's job: another cost of the disease; fear of delegating care; love: a support for the caregiver; needing support to care. CONCLUSIONS.: The caregiver experiences a complex situation associated with the high demand for care, and conditions under which mental health impairment progresses.

Resumen Este trabajo tiene el propósito de establecer las estrategias de prosocialidad de jóvenes desvinculados del conflicto armado colombiano, como un aporte a la comprensión del perfil psicológico de esta población para la implementación de procesos de intervención efectivos que permitan su reincorporación y adapta ción a la vida civil. Se encontró que, las variables que conforman la prosocialidad, la sensibilidad social, la conformidad de lo socialmente correcto y las dificulta des sociales, presentan relaciones importantes tanto positivas como negativas. Se confirma la hipótesis alterna que mostraba la existencia de relaciones direc tas entre la competencia social y el comportamiento prosocial relativo a lo que es socialmente correcto.
Abstract The purpose of this work is to establish the prosociality strategies of young peo ple disengaged from the Colombian armed conflict, as a contribution to the un derstanding of the psychological profile of this population for the implementa tion of effective intervention processes, which allow their reincorporation and adaptation to civilian life. It was found that the variables, which make up proso ciality, social sensitivity, conformity to social correctness and social difficulties, present important positive and negative relationships. The alternative hypo thesis showing the existence of direct relationships between social competence and prosocial behavior related to what is socially correct is confirmed.

Resumen. El presente estudio tuvo por objetivo determinar el perfil del funcionamiento ejecutivo (Dorsal y orbital) y el tipo de relación con la competencia social que tiene que ver con lo que es socialmente correcto, en una población de menores que se desvinculan del conflicto armado en Colombia. El alcance de la propuesta fue descriptivo-correlacional. El diseno cuasi experimental, de orden longitudinal para la recolección de los datos relacionados con la evaluación neuropsicológica y la evaluación de la competencia social. De carácter cuantitativo, se evaluaron las variables a través de instrumentos estandarizados y sus puntuaciones son de tipo numérico. Se encontró un coeficiente de correlación mùltiple de R=0.759, entre las FE, y la criterio (competencia social) por lo tanto el 57.6% de la variabilidad de lo que se considera Socialmente Correcto, puede explicarse por las variables predictoras contempladas en el modelo. El ajuste del modelo puede considerarse alto. Así mismo, el valor de significancia permite comprobar que la regresión entre las variables independientes y la variable dependiente es significativa. Con ello se rechaza la hipótesis nula (p=0,001). Y se acepta la existencia de relaciones directas/inversas entre el funcionamiento ejecutivo y la competencia social que hace referencia a lo que es socialmente correcto.
Abstract. The objective of the present study was to establish the relationship between the profile of executive functioning and social competence that has to do with what is socially correct, in a population of 70 minors who disassociate themselves from the armed conflict in Colombia. The scope of the proposal was descriptive-correlational. The design we used was quasi-experimental, longitudinal in order to collect the data related to the neuropsychological evaluation and the evaluation of social competence. It is quantitative in nature; the variables were evaluated through standardized and valid instruments. We find positive and negative relationships between executive functions and social competence; that is, the alternative hypothesis of the research is accepted, in which we propose the existence of direct relationships between executive functioning and social competence.
RESUMEN
AIM: Increased vertical growth of the maxilla is a condition that affects a large part of the population. The condition reveals a skeletal alteration of the cranio-masticatory system. One of the effects generated by the excessive vertical growth of the maxilla is a gingival smile pattern that can affect esthetic patterns as well as alter the masticatory biomechanics, which is a primary etiologic factor in temporomandibular dysfunction (TMD). Contemporary imaging aids help to optimize diagnostic analysis; perform treatment; and make an evaluation before, during, and after treatment. The present study aims to compare the clinical diagnosis of gingival smile with the dimensions of the dentoalveolar square, digitally calculated in the panoramic projection of the CBCT. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In a sample of 37 patients, an analysis was performed of the correlation between the dimensions of the dentoalveolar square of the Tatis panoramic cephalometry and the clinical photometry, applying the Tjan gingival smile analysis. RESULTS: The results show that there is high correlation and agreement between the cephalometric measurement method of the dentoalveolar square and Tjan's photometric measurement method. Both methods can be used to classify the smile type as high, medium or low. CONCLUSIONS: Analysis of the dentoalveolar square of the panoramic cephalometry provides an accurate diagnosis of the anterior vertical dimension of the maxilla as it relates to the clinical diagnosis of smile.

Resumo Objetivo Descrever a relação entre a competência do cuidar e a qualidade de vida do cuidador familiar da pessoa hospitalizada com doença crônica. Métodos Estudo quantitativo, descritivo, de correlação e corte transversal. Foi utilizada uma amostragem por conveniência. Participaram 102 cuidadores de pessoas hospitalizadas em uma instituição de saúde. Para a coleta de dados, foram utilizados três instrumentos: ficha de caracterização do par cuidador-pessoa com doença crônica, qualidade de vida do cuidador informal e competência para o cuidado no lar. Resultados Houve predomínio de cuidadores do sexo feminino (74,5%), percepção negativa do bem-estar social e espiritual e percepção positiva do bem-estar psicológico e físico. Foi encontrada uma correlação entre o bem-estar psicológico e o espiritual. As dimensões do instrumento competência para o cuidado no lar se correlacionaram com o bem-estar psicológico, social e espiritual da qualidade de vida, mas não se correlacionaram com o bem-estar físico. Conclusão Este estudo mostra que a feminização dos cuidadores persiste, assim como a dedicação por longos períodos de tempo ao cuidado da pessoa enferma, afetando o bem-estar social e espiritual da qualidade de vida. Nesse cenário, é importante manter altos escores nas diferentes dimensões do instrumento competência para o cuidado no lar para melhorar a qualidade de vida dos cuidadores e prevenir a sobrecarga.

Abstract Objective To describe the relationship between the quality of life of caregivers and their competence of caring for a person hospitalized with a chronic condition. Methods Quantitative, descriptive, correlation and cross-sectional study, with a convenience sample. Participants of this study were 102 caregivers of people hospitalized in a health institution, located in Neiva, Huila, Colombia. Three instruments were used for data collection: Caregiver-patient characterization survey, Caregiver's quality of life, and Homecare competency. Results Caregivers were mainly women (74.5%), with a negative perception of social and spiritual well-being, and a positive perception of psychological and physical well-being. A correlation was found between psychological and spiritual well-being. The dimensions of the Homecare competency instrument were related to the psychological, social, and spiritual well-being of quality of life, but they were not related to physical well-being. Conclusion This study shows that the feminization of caregivers persists, along with the dedication for long periods of time to the care of the sick person, thus affecting the social and spiritual well-being of quality of life. In face of this scenario, it is important to keep high scores in the different dimensions of the Homecare competency instrument to improve the quality of life of caregivers and prevent overload.

Resumen INTRODUCCIÓN: La sífilis es una infección de trasmisión sexual adquirida a través de una trasfusión sanguínea, por contacto directo con una lesión activa o por vía vertical. La infección puede trasmitirse al feto en cualquier momento del embarazo. Cada año se registran en el mundo 749,000 casos de sífilis congénita. En México, del 2007 al 2017, se reportaron 1030 casos de sífilis congénita (media de 90.6 casos por año). En 50 a 80% de los casos hay complicaciones materno-fetales. OBJETIVO: Reportar un caso clínico de sífilis congénita temprana, con pénfigo bulloso y descamación al nacimiento. CASO CLÍNICO: Paciente de 25 años, con antecedente de cuatro embarazos, dos partos y un aborto, previamente sana, con control prenatal y pruebas de VDRL y VIH negativas. Los dos últimos embarazos finalizaron con recién nacido, ambos de sexo femenino, con lesiones ampollosas decapitadas, placas blanquecinas de aspecto áspero elevadas sobre una base eritematosa, eritema con descamación gruesa en las manos y pies, y descamación fina generalizada. Ante la sospecha de sífilis congénita se inició la administración de 50,000 UI/kg de penicilina G cristalina por vía intravenosa cada 12 h. La sospecha de sífilis congénita se confirmó. La paciente se dio de alta con citas de seguimiento en la consulta externa. CONCLUSIONES: El control prenatal adecuado, con una o dos pruebas para sífilis, no es suficiente para prevenir la forma congénita. Es necesario el análisis de los casos para encontrar opciones e implementar estrategias de salud pública que prevengan nuevos casos.
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection acquired through blood transfusion, by direct contact with an active lesion or by the vertical route. The infection can be transmitted to the fetus at any time during pregnancy. Each year, 749,000 cases of congenital syphilis are reported worldwide. In Mexico, from 2007 to 2017, 1030 cases of congenital syphilis were reported (average of 90.6 cases per year). In 50 to 80% of cases there are maternal-fetal complications. OBJECTIVE: To report a clinical case of early congenital syphilis with bullous pemphigus and desquamation at birth. CLINICAL CASE: 25-year-old patient, with a history of four pregnancies, two deliveries and one abortion, previously healthy, with prenatal control and negative VDRL and HIV tests. The last two pregnancies ended with a newborn, both female, with decapitated blistering lesions, whitish plaques of rough appearance raised on an erythematous base, erythema with thick desquamation on the hands and feet, and generalized fine desquamation. Suspecting congenital syphilis, 50,000 IU/kg of crystalline penicillin G intravenously every 12 h was started. The suspicion of congenital syphilis was confirmed. The patient was discharged with follow-up outpatient appointments. CONCLUSIONS: Adequate prenatal screening, with one or two tests for syphilis, is not sufficient to prevent the congenital form. Case analysis is necessary to find options and implement public health strategies to prevent new cases.
