Congenital Syphilis
• Trends are consistent with primary and secondary syphilis trends in women.
– Primary and secondary syphilis in women increased from 2005 (47) to 2009 (106) . – Congenital syphilis increased 25% from 2004 (4) to 2008 (16) and decreased 8%
(13) in 2009.
• Cases occur most frequently among mothers who have had limited or late prenatal care.
– Lack of adherence to Georgia’s screening requirements serves as a barrier to the decrease in congenital syphilis
