摘要：What is already known about this topic? Timely identification and treatment of maternal syphilis can prevent congenital syphilis; however, the number of congenital syphilis cases in the United States increased 261% during 2013–2018. What is added by this report? Nationally, the most commonly missed opportunities for prevention of congenital syphilis are a lack of adequate maternal treatment despite timely diagnoses of syphilis (31%) and a lack of timely prenatal care (28%), followed by late identification of seroconversions (11%); prevalences of these missed opportunities differ regionally and by race/ethnicity. What are the implications for public health practice? Halting continued increases in congenital syphilis requires understanding the missed prevention opportunities and implementing tailored interventions based on local experience.
