Abstract

Introduction: Gestational syphilis continues to represent an ongoing public health issue in contexts where timely detection and treatment are not always ensured. Objective: To analyze the treatment of gestational syphilis provided to patients attended at the Martha Roldós Type C Health Center during the period from January to December 2024. Methodology: Analytical, observational, cross-sectional, and quantitative study with a population of 50 pregnant women diagnosed with gestational syphilis, whose information was obtained from medical records. Results: Most of the pregnant women were between 33–40 years old (36%), followed by those aged 18–24 years (34%). A total of 52% resided in rural areas, and 50% had a secondary education level. The initiation of treatment was recorded after the 12th week of gestation in 60% of the patients. Regarding treatment adherence, 29 women completed the regimen and 21 had an incomplete regimen. In the therapeutic analysis, 30% received one dose, 28% three doses, 30% incomplete treatments, and 12% were not recorded. With respect to complications, 38% presented prematurity, 22% low birth weight, and 28% congenital syphilis in newborns. Conclusion: The results show that the application of therapeutic regimens varied according to the clinical stage, with incomplete treatments and missing records being present.
