Abstract: Syphilis is a public health problem caused by a systemic infection by Treponema pallidum. Considering that the notification and monitoring of the information is of fundamental importance for the elimination of syphilis, an investigation is necessary that provides subsidies to plan and define the necessary interventions during the COVID-19 pandemic. The aim of this study was to analyze the repercussions of the pandemic in notifications of acquired syphilis and congenital syphilis in 2019 and 2020. This is a documentary research with a quantitative approach, with secondary data from the National System of Notifiable Diseases (SINAN). 34 cases of children with syphilis were reported in 2019 and four cases in 2020, a significant drop of 88%. 37 cases of syphilis acquired in 2019 and in 2020, 0 (zero) cases were reported, representing a very significant drop of 100%. The pandemic led to changes in the servisse profile, monitoring and quality of notifications, which could compromise syphilis control and eradication.
