Dr. Chapa’s OBGYN Clinical Pearls

New Practice Advisory for Syphilis in Pregnancy (April 2024)

18 Apr 2024

Description

From 2012 to 2021, congenital syphilis cases in the United States increased by 755%. According to the CDC, 88% of congenital syphilis cases in 2022 could have been prevented with timely screening and treatment. Despite repetitive messaging about the need to identify syphilis early in pregnancy, with appropriate treatment, gaps remain. A new publication in the Green Journal (4/17/24) provides shocking information about gaps in diagnosis and treatment. In this episode, we will review that original research as well as summarize the new ACOG Practice Advisory (April 2024) regarding screening for syphilis in pregnancy.
