Sífilis : a importância investigatória e sua cadeia de transmissão - relato de experiência em estratégia de saúde da família

Abstract

Acquired syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease with systemic impact that continues to be seen in Brazil and in the world, reappearing with AIDS in the 80s, and remains without control causing many expenses to the public health service. This quantitative study, aimed to observe the notifications of Acquired Syphilis, in the state of Rio Grande do Sul, Third Health Coordination Office State and Canguçu city, since the mandatory notification until the 34th epidemiological week of 2014 from data provided in the third health coordination office taken from SINAN (information system of aggravation notification). It was observed that the biggest problem are the notifications with disconsidered data or blanck (incomplete), that are more than 50% of the notifications made, it means, the lack of data in the notification record. This problem has been accuring in the three studied spheres, causing big difficulties for any investigation that would try to characterize Syphilis. The results show the necessity of more attention and heath professional training to recognize (or identify) the signs and symptoms of this disease to diagnose and, therefore, the aggravation notification can be done with a fully filled of this document.
