Abstract: Congenital syphilis is a transmissible infection with a high prevalence among Brazilian states. Among its forms, there is the congenital, acquired by the fetus during pregnancy, which has been linked to public health and social factors. The objective is, therefore, to analyze and describe epidemiological variables of congenital syphilis in the state of Rondônia and northern region of Brazil. This is a cross-sectional, observational and retrospective study. Epidemiological data of congenital syphilis cases in the state of Rondônia and Northern Brazil between 2010 and 2019 were used, extracted from the Ministry of Health's Health Surveillance Secretariat database, from which congenital syphilis prevalence and death due to the disease data and secondary data related to the child's age, final diagnosis, age, race and education of the mother, prenatal care; time of diagnosis and maternal treatment scheme were summarized. Data were tabulated and analyzed with the –T test of independent samples considering p ≤ 0,05 as significant. The general situation of the disease in Rondônia is similar to that found in the northern region. There was a significant increase in the number of cases (p ≤ 0,01), and deaths from congenital syphilis (p ≤ 0,01) and in secondary data, with emphasis on data on education, early diagnosis and adequate treatment. These results point to hypotheses such as problems in public health and improvement in notification, which are rooted in social problems such as level of education, sex education, reflecting in lower adherence to treatments, attendance to prenatal care and quality of care.
