Introduction: Congenital syphilis is a disease of great magnitude due to increasing numbers of new annual cases, affecting a large contingent of children, which translates into high incidence rates. The occurrence of syphilis cases evidences failures in health services, especially in prenatal care. Objective: To describe the epidemiological profile of congenital syphilis in the municipality of São Luís. Methods: Descriptive study with a quantitative approach. Congenital syphilis data recorded in SINAN from 2008 to 2017 were used. Results: The detection rate in the municipality shows a continuous increase. A total of 1,060 cases of congenital syphilis were diagnosed in neonates, 1,017 (96.0%) after the first week of life. Regarding the final diagnosis of cases, it was observed that 967 (91.2%) were classified as early congenital syphilis. The predominant maternal age range was 20 to 34 years, corresponding to 743 cases (70.1%). Regarding access to prenatal care, 802 (75.6%) mothers underwent prenatal care, while 219 (20.66%) did not. Among those who received prenatal care, 352 (33.0%) were diagnosed with syphilis during prenatal care, 481 (46.0%) were diagnosed at the time of delivery/curettage, and 59 (5.0%) were diagnosed after childbirth. Regarding the treatment regimen during pregnancy, 736 (70.0%) received inadequate treatment, 95 (8.0%) received no treatment and 62 (6.0%) received adequate treatment. Conclusion: The study contributed to the identification of possible losses in the stages of such care, and in obtaining qualified information that will guide decision-making and planning of health actions, supporting the epidemiological surveillance work in guiding managers and health teams.

Epidemiological Characterization

Congenital syphilis, caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, is one of most prevalent diseases in Brazil. The diagnosis is made through treponemal and non-treponemal tests during prenatal care, in which reagent results are necessary to initiate treatment in order to avoid fetal contamination, miscarriage, prematurity, neurological sequelae, among other fetal and maternal complications. The objective of this study was to investigate the prevalence of congenital syphilis to describe the epidemiological profile based on cases reported in the Municipality of Imperatriz, Maranhão State, Brazil. This is an exploratory, retrospective, descriptive and quantitative study developed between 2010 and 2017. The results obtained in the study reveal that in the period from 2010 to 2017, an accumulated total of 2,507 cases of congenital syphilis were reported in the state of Maranhão, and 514 cases were registered in Imperatriz, representing 20.50% of the total. The study demonstrated the need for effective measures to combat not only the infection of mothers, but also of partners; some of these diagnoses were only identified during or after childbirth/curettage. The lack of previous investigation or lack of adequate treatment during the gestation leading to maternal and fetal risk was evident.

Abstract Background : Diarrheal infections remain relevant for many countries of the world. The processes of globalization, fundamental changes in nutrition and water consumption contributed to the fact that the significance of individual infection sources, etiological structure of diarrheal infections changed. Purpose of the study: on the background of the analytical study of the incidence of diarrheal infections in Ukraine under the current conditions, to determine the factors influencing epidemic situation. Methods: The reports of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine, Main Administrations of Statistics in Kharkiv, Odesa, Zaporizhia oblasts for 2011-2018 are used in the paper. Epidemiological and statistical research methods are applied. Results: The epidemic situation with diarrheal infections in Ukraine is characterized by a low incidence of typhoid fever (from 0.012 to 0.14 per 100 thousand people), shigellosis (from 1.97-6.13 per 100 thousand people), stable incidence rates without the downward trend, salmonellosis (from 17.35 till 24.1 per 100 thousand people), high incidence of diahrreal infections of specified etiology (from 115.5 to141.9 per 100 thousand people) and diahrreal infections of unspecified etiology (from 69.76 to 107.02 per 100 thousand people). The most complicated epidemic situation is observed in economically most developed regions of the country. Most diarrheal infectionsoutbreaks are connected with catering establishments 36.5 % and with children educational establishments 26.1 %. In the region with the highest shigellosis and salmonellosis incidence direct strong correlation relationships are established between the incidence and population, density, natural population movement. The oblasts with the highest diahrreal infections of specified etiology, rotaviral enteritis, diahrreal infections of unspecified etiology incidence are at least provided with water resources and have problems with provision of high-quality drinking water. There is a need to improve the system of epidemiological surveillance over diarrheal infections by extension of the indicators of microbiological study of drinking water quality in the regions of Ukraine, where high diahrreal infections of specified etiology, rotaviral enteritis, diahrreal infections of unspecified etiology incidence is registered; by increasing frequency of food item inspections in the oblasts, where mediana shigellosis and salmonellosis incidence exceeds the average one in Ukraine. Keywords: diarrheal infections, shigellosis, salmonellosis, rotaviral enteritis.

Epidemiological Profile

Congenital syphilis (CS) is a systemic infect contagious disease, sexually transmitted, easily diagnosed, with effective and low cost treatment. Thus, the existence of a paradox is detached, once infectious diseases of greater complexity have already been controlled. In its congenital form, syphilis in Brazil constitutes a sentry event of high magnitude that presents unfavorable indicators in terms of its control. In the State of Pará, Marabá is the municipality with the highest number of cases in the past years. The aimed of this study was describing a clinical-epidemiological profile of congenital syphilis in Marabá, from 2006 to 2015. This was a descriptive, retrospective and documental study which analyzed secondary data from SINAN/SMS/SVS/DATASUS/Marabá/PA. Between 2006 and 2015, 323 cases of CS were notified in Marabá. The incidence of congenital syphilis of 6.5 cases per 1,000 live births from 2006-2015 is 6.5 the Ministry of Health goal; from 2012 to 2015 the rates were 8, 9.8, 26.3 and 11.3/1,000, respectively. Most pregnant women performed prenatal (88.6%), was between 20 and 24 years old (62.2%), 26.6% did not finish Middle School. Most partners, 67.5%, of the pregnants diagnosed with did not perform treatment; in 55% of cases, the maternal syphilis diagnosis happened during labor/curettage. Congenital syphilis in Marabá overcame the highest incidence in 2014, with 26.3 cases per 1,000 live births. This great value in 2014 may be a result of the campaign "It's possible to born without syphilis in Pará", released by the Secretary of State for Health of Pará at the end of 2013, since in periods of huge campaigns there is an increase of notifications, due to easier access to the diagnosis of the disease. In the year of 2015, an incidence of 11.3 cases per 1,000 live births was observed, this abrupt decrease, compared to 2014, corroborates with the influence of the campaigns in the detection of new cases. The cases of congenital syphilis notified in the Municipality of Marabá demonstrated failures in the prenatal service, particularly in the time of verification of gestational syphilis and in the treatment of the partners. However, most cases had a positive outcome, with a low number of pre and perinatal deaths due to CS. According to the section of Epidemiological Surveillance of Marabá, many factors are responsible for the high incidence of congenital syphilis in the municipality, among them the lack of clarification of the pregnants/mothers about syphilis, a low demand by the prenatal care and the low attendance of partners, what unfeasible the effective control of this disease, as well as the precarious training of health professionals, who give little importance to the disease and show difficulty to interpret lab results. The correct notification (if there is a higher quality in the reports, the number will be closer to the real), investigation of cases, appropriate treatment and implementation of measures to prevent new cases of congenital syphilis will contribute to the reduction of cases in Marabá.

Syphilis is a disease that is found all over the world that causes damaging effects to the fetus through vertical transmission. This study aimed to analyze the processes that trigger the vertical transmission of syphilis through gestational and congenital syphilis notifications. It is a cross-sectional study. The sample totaled 129 notifications of syphilis in pregnant women and 132 notifications of congenital syphilis in the city of Natal, from 2011 to 2015. Data were obtained from the Information System for Disease Notification. The Chi-square, Student’s and Fisher’s tests were used to verify associations of interest. Diagnosis of maternal syphilis was predominant in the third trimester of pregnancy. Only 1.6% of the pregnant women were registered with an adequate treatment regimen, of these 16.3% had the concomitant treatment with their partners. Of the affected children, 78.8% were registered as asymptomatic. The factors that trigger vertical transmission are related to the late diagnosis of the pregnant woman and sexual partner(s) and the deficiencies in clinical/therapeutic management in relation to the phase of the disease. Strategies of professional training should be adopted to notify and expand the provision of information for epidemiological surveillance, aiming to strengthen care, reduce vertical transmission and enable the continuous analysis of this problem.

Introduction: Syphilis is an infectious disease of bacterial nature, acting on organs and/or systems. The increase in the number of cases worldwide has been of concern and the infection has been considered a public health problem. Given this scenario, this study evaluates the epidemiological profile, spatial distribution, and time series of the cases of acquired syphilis, syphilis in pregnant women, and congenital syphilis in a Brazilian municipality. Methodology: This is a cross-sectional and descriptive study with second data of the notified cases. For the definition of the population universe, an initial survey of syphilis cases notified in the municipality was carried out, from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017. Results: There was an increase in the notified cases and the detection/incidence rates of syphilis. The epidemiological profile was composed of men (76.7%), adults (24.8%), white (60.4%), with eight or more years of study (53.7%) in addition to pregnant adolescents (36.7%) and young adults (26.0%), with inadequate treatment and untreated partners. A concentration of cases was identified in the regions with the lowest monthly income and the time series showed an increasing trend (p-value < 0.001). Conclusions: Health actions should continue to improve access to diagnosis and to notification, focusing on treatment, cure and health education actions to control and prevent new cases.

As hepatites virais são doenças causadas por vírus distintos (A, B, C e D), que têm em comum o acometimento particularmente forte do fígado humano. Objetivou-se mapear a distribuição das hepatites virais no Acre, no período de 2010 a 2014, por meio de dois indicadores. Esse mapeamento foi associado a proposições para explicar seus territórios, suas territorialidades e suas territorializações, sendo respectivamente os locais de maior ocorrência, as relações históricas e sociais que causaram essas enfermidades e a formação desses territórios. Em vista de tudo isto, as hepatites virais se territorializaram historicamente no Acre, possivelmente favorecidas por aspectos inadequados de vigilância epidemiológica, ligados com o controle de outras endemias que assolavam os municípios. Estes fatores, associados com as condições socioeconômicas e ambientais, com a desigualdade de renda, de escolaridade e de desenvolvimento humano desses espaços, permitiram que as relações que proporcionam a infecção e a transmissão dessas doenças fossem passadas de geração para geração. Esse processo resultou em territórios que apresentam, além de muitos casos notificados altas taxas de incidências como em Cruzeiro do Sul, Rio Branco, Tarauacá e Assis Brasil. The map of viral hepatitis in Acre: between territories and territorialities A B S T R A C TViral hepatitis are diseases caused by distinct viruses (A, B, C and D), which have in common the particularly strong involvement of the human liver. The objective of this study was to map the distribution of viral hepatitis in Acre between 2010 and 2014, using two indicators. This mapping was associated with propositions to explain their territories, their territorialities and their territorializations, being respectively the places of greatest occurrence, the historical and social relations that caused these diseases and the formation of these territories. In view of all this, viral hepatitis were historically territorialized in Acre, possibly favored by inadequate aspects of epidemiological surveillance, linked to the control of other endemic diseases that devastated the municipalities. These factors, associated with socioeconomic and environmental conditions, income inequality, schooling and human development of these spaces, allowed the relations that provide the infection and the transmission of these diseases were passed from generation to generation. This process resulted in territories that have, in addition to many cases reported high incidence rates such as Cruzeiro do Sul, Rio Branco, Tarauacá and Assis Brasil.Keywords: Viral hepatitis, Map, Territories, Acre.

Abstract Objectives: to assess the epidemiological profile of congenital and syphilis during pregnancy in residents of São José do Rio Preto in São Paulo State. Methods: ecological study of the epidemiological profile of patients with congenital and gestational syphilis, based on the Sistema de Informação de Agravos de Notificação (Information System for Notifiable Diseases) from 2007 to 2016. Results: there were 396 cases of syphilis reported in pregnant women and 290 of congenital syphilis. In 2016, the rate of detecting syphilis in pregnant women was 13.2 cases/1,000 live births, while congenital syphilis the incidence rate was 6.5 cases/1,000 live births. For gestational syphilis, 54% of the diagnosis was performed in 2nd or 3rd trimester and 85% were reported at the primary care. Adequate treatment for pregnant women occurred in 96% of the notifications with 52% of partners treated. In congenital syphilis, 82% of the mothers underwent prenatal care. However, 94% of the pregnant women were treated inadequately while 82% of the partners did not receive any treatment. Conclusions: there has been an increase in the number of cases of gestational syphilis in pregnant women and a decrease in the cases of congenital syphilis from 2014. These results showed that the goal of 0.5 case/1,000 live births proposed by World Health Organization is still far from being achieved in this city.
