• Abstract:

  Congenital syphilis (CS) is a public health problem and the treatment of the newborn (NB), properly, reduces clinical manifestations and increases serological cure in the third month. The treatment of newborns with CS without neurosyphilis is performed with crystalline penicillin or procaine and lasts for 10 days. We aim to describe the implementation of shared maternity care with primary care for CS cases without neurosyphilis, in order to reduce hospitalization time and humanize care. With hospitalization in a pathological unit and a better relationship between the family and the health team, the shared care of the SC provided an increase in the mother-child bond with a reduction in the time of separation, and a decrease in the risk of weaning due to the separation of the binomial. mother-baby. In addition, it contributed to the reduction of the risk of nosocomial infection and the optimization of Intermediate Care beds.
