Syphilis in pregnant women constitutes an important public health problem, mainly due to the risk of vertical transmission and its severe maternal-fetal repercussions, such as miscarriage, prematurity, and congenital syphilis. Given this scenario, the present study aimed to analyze the epidemiological profile of pregnant women with syphilis in the municipality of Marabá, Pará, Brazil, from 2016 to 2024, identifying the main affected groups and the sociodemographic factors associated with the occurrence of the disease. This is an epidemiological, descriptive study with a quantitative approach, based on secondary data obtained from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN), made available by DATASUS. Variables such as age group, race/color, and educational level were analyzed, and the data were organized and tabulated through descriptive analysis, presented in absolute and relative values. The results showed fluctuations in the number of cases throughout the study period, with a higher concentration of infection among women of reproductive age, especially between 20 and 39 years old, as well as a significant occurrence among adolescents. A predominance was observed among pregnant women who self-identified as mixed race (“parda”), along with a higher frequency in groups with intermediate educational levels. It is concluded that gestational syphilis remains a relevant challenge for public health in the studied municipality, requiring the strengthening of Primary Health Care, expansion of access to quality prenatal care, intensification of prevention and treatment actions, and improvement of health information systems. Furthermore, future studies aimed at investigating barriers to healthcare access and disease control strategies are recommended in order to reduce vertical transmission and improve maternal and child health indicators.
