Resumo: | A cross-sectional survey was carried-out among 299 prisoners in the Penitentiary Center of Industrial Activity of Goiás (CEPAIGO), to determine the seroprevalence to T. pallidum and to identify risk factors associated to seropositivity. The seropositivity criterion was a positive VDRL test at any titer. A questionnaire was applied to evaluate the following'risk factors: time of imprisonment, clinical evidence of sexually transmitted diseases (STD), history of syphilis or others STD, homo/bisexuality and number of sexual partners. The positive (PPV) and negative (NPV) predictive values of the history of syphilis were calculated. Seroprevalence of 18,4% was found and no difference was detected in the different age groups. The PPV of history of syphilis was 26% indicating that 74% of the individuals who have reported syphilis in the past presented a negative VDRL test. Among all the risk factors studied, homo/bisexuality was the only one with statistically significant association with seropositivity (relative risks 5.7-95% CL1.2-26, p = 0.03). The paper discusses the methodological problems related with the investigation. |

The paper discusses the methodological problems related with the investigation. Com o objetivo de dimensionar a prevalência da infecção pelo Treponema pallidum e determinar fatores de risco relacionados a soropositividade foram rastreados 299 presidiários no Centro Penitenciário de Atividades Industriais de Goiás (CEPAI-GO), 20 Km de Goiânia. O rastreamento sorológico foi realizado utilizando-se como critério de positividade, qualquer resultado sororeagente ao VDRL independentemente do título. Através de um questionário padronizado foram avaliados os seguintes fatores de risco: tempo de encarceramento, sinais e sintomas relativos às principais doenças sexualmente transmissíveis (DST), história de sífilis ou outras DST e práticas sexuais (homo/bissexualismo e número de parceiros). Foram calculados o valor preditivo positivo (VPP) e negativo (VPN) da história pregressa de sífilis obtida na anamnese. Uma soroprevalência global de 18,4% foi obtida, não havendo diferença entre as faixas etárias. O VPP do antecedente de sífilis foi de 26% significando que 74% dos indivíduos que referiram sífilis no passado não tiveram confirmação pelo VDRL. Entre os fatores de risco testados, a bissexualidade foi o único que apresentou associação estatisticamente significante com soropositividade (risco relativo 5,8 - LC 95% 1,2-16,0 p= 0,03). Foram discutidas as dificuldades metodológicas que poderiam ter influenciado nos resultados. Universidade de São Paulo.
