What are the Chances?
The number of congenital syphilis cases in a given year has been closely tied to the number of P&S syphilis cases in women in the preceding year…

What is being done in Texas?
Working on a comprehensive statewide congenital plan Our goal is to reduce the number of
congenital cases in Texas by 25% within 5 years
Target activities involve the following areas:
Surveillance Programmatic Providers/Clinical Settings/Services Promotion and Awareness
27
Surveillance Activities
Map primary, secondary and congenital cases by county
Review congenital cases in real time
Increase accessibility to testing and treatment history
Improve reporting accuracy by programs
28
Programmatic Activities
Target high-risk populations through prevention programs
Revise Program Operating Procedures for working congenital cases
Reach out to other programs which work with pregnant women
29
Providers/Clinical Services
Promote awareness to providers in high-morbidity areas
Present to Perinatal HIV Consortium Recommend 3rd trimester testing in high-
morbidity/high-risk populations Ensure all pregnant women who test positive
for any STD are also tested for syphilis Monitor treatment options used for women
who present as allergic to penicillin Evaluate desensitization policies of programs
30
Promotion and Awareness
Stomp Out Syphilis campaign Develop congenital syphilis brochure Develop and post congenital FAQ sheet Continue congenital meetings Develop training for contractors Ensure pregnant women are accessing
prenatal Posted one page summary of law
changes Add 3rd trimester testing module to
perinatal training for providers
31
Conclusion
Texas is at a turning point in addressing congenital syphilis cases
Continue to address racial and socio-economic disparities
Requires the collaboration of many entities
