Objective: To carry out an epidemiological study on reported cases of congenital syphilis between 2019 and 2022. Methodology: Quantitative and retrospective study, based on data collected from the Brazilian Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) between 2019 to 2022. The information obtained was stratification of cases by Brazilian region, age group, race, education, prenatal care, treatment and clinical evolution of children. Results: 114,447 cases of confirmed congenital syphilis were reported in children under 1 year old, between 2019 and 2022, with a higher concentration of cases in the Southeast region (28.23%). There was a higher proportion of cases among mothers aged between 20 and 29 years old (57.33%), mixed race (58.73%) and with complete secondary education (20.28%). The proportion of prenatal care were above 80%, however, the percentage of mothers with inadequate or no treatment remained above 80%. The proportion of children who survived was over 87%. Conclusion: There is a worrying trend towards the persistence of cases of congenital syphilis in Brazil. Given this scenario, it is imperative to encourage the adoption of comprehensive measures aimed at access to health services and awareness among the population, to strengthen health systems. Epidemiological monitoring.
