    Description

    Cases of congenital syphilis have risen 10-fold in the US between 2012-2022. Lack of screening and adequate treatment for syphilis during pregnancy, often due to a lack of timely prenatal care, are the most cited reasons for transmission to the neonate.

    This poster assesses syphilis screening and treatment during pregnancy among publicly and commercially insured pregnant individuals in the US. It was presented at the 2024 ISPE Annual Meeting.
