Congenital Syphilis : a Review of Global Epidemiology
In 2007, the World Health Organization (WHO) launched a global health initiative for the elimination of mother-to-child transmission (MTCT) of syphilis. This condition is highly preventable through antenatal identification of syphilis infection and treatment with penicillin during pregnancy. This review summarizes the global status of MTCT of syphilis and concludes that this condition remains a significant issue worldwide. There are large variations in case rates by region, with the highest numbers of cases in the African and Eastern Mediterranean regions, where there are also the least data available. There are also pockets of high-incidence areas within the other regions. Although the general trend is of decreasing rates over time, there are concerning indications of consistently increasing congenital syphilis cases in some areas, particularly in areas which have previously had very low case numbers. A concerted effort will be required to achieve the 2007 WHO goal of worldwide elimination of MTCT of syphilis in the near future.
