- Abstract
Objective: to analyze epidemiological aspects of congenital syphilis associated with maternal education. Method: an exploratory study was conducted by means of analysis of retrospective data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) and the National Live Birth Information System (SINASC) in Aracaju, state of Sergipe, between 2008 and 2012. Data were analyzed in the statistical software SPSS 17.0. Pearson's chisquared test (χ²) was used and odd ratios were estimated through logistical regression. Data were presented in tables and a diagram and then compared with literature. Results: 318 cases of congenital syphilis were reported, with a high number of cases in children whose mothers had more than eight years of education (n=186). In most cases, sexual partners were not treated simultaneously with the pregnant women, who tended to have less than eight years of education. Conclusion: a high number of cases of congenital syphilis was reported in the period under study, with an association with less than eight years of maternal education, lower number of prenatal consultations and treatment of partners.
