Syphilis cases are rising in Missouri, particularly in St. Louis, posing a public health challenge. Effective prevention requires collaboration between physicians and public health experts to combat this re-emerging disease.

Area of Science:

  • Public Health
  • Epidemiology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Syphilis incidence has significantly increased in the United States and Missouri since the late 1980s.
  • A notable outbreak of primary and secondary (P&S) syphilis and congenital syphilis is ongoing in the St. Louis area.
  • The complex nature of syphilis and specific high-risk population characteristics complicate disease control efforts.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the re-emergence of syphilis as a critical public health issue in Missouri.
  • To underscore the challenges in preventing and controlling syphilis transmission.
  • To emphasize the necessity of interdisciplinary collaboration for effective syphilis management.

Main Methods:

  • This study is an observational analysis of syphilis trends.

  • Data on reported cases of primary and secondary syphilis and congenital syphilis in Missouri were reviewed.
  • The analysis focuses on epidemiological trends and challenges in the St. Louis area.

    • Main Results:

    • Reported cases of P&S syphilis and congenital syphilis in Missouri show a consistent upward trend since the late 1980s.
    • The St. Louis area is experiencing a major, ongoing outbreak of these syphilis types.
    • Difficulties in prevention and control are linked to the disease's characteristics and at-risk populations.

    Conclusions:

    • Syphilis represents a significant and growing public health concern in Missouri.
    • Successful syphilis prevention and control necessitate a coordinated approach involving healthcare providers and public health agencies.
    • Addressing the unique challenges posed by high-risk populations is crucial for mitigating syphilis spread.
