Syphilis is still considered an important public health problem and its eradication and control has become a challenge. It is an infectious disease transmitted through sexual intercourse, responsible for the infection of thousands of men, women and consequently children every year. In pregnant women who acquired the disease, transmission to the fetus can occur via the transplacental route or through cervical-vaginal secretions and maternal blood at the time of delivery, which can cause various problems for the child, including death. The objective of this work was to describe the epidemiological profile of gestational syphilis and congenital syphilis in the Federal District-DF in the period from 2009 to 2019. Data were collected and addressed available at the SUS Computer Department (DATASUS) on pregnant women and children with positive diagnoses for syphilis. In the Federal District, between 2009 and 2018, a progressive increase in the number of cases of the disease was observed. This result can be caused by the lack of knowledge and guidance, pregnant women who neglect prenatal care, as well as pregnant women and partners who did not adhere to the treatment or performed it incompletely or incorrectly, emphasizing the need for public policies that reach everyone.
