Resumo: BACKGROUND: Syphilis, an infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum, can lead to Congenital Syphilis (CS). Vertical transmission occurs through the bloodstream and is preventable with early diagnosis during prenatal care. The nurse plays a vital role, encouraging treatment and compulsory notification through SINAN, contributing to epidemiological control. OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to analyze the data of diseases of notification of syphilis in pregnant women and congenital syphilis according to SINAN and describe the performance of nursing in the maternal-fetal binomial. METHODS: The methodology consisted of an exploratory and descriptive analysis of secondary data from the Notifiable Diseases Information System (SINAN) regarding cases of syphilis in pregnant women and congenital syphilis in the Federal District and São Paulo, between the years 2020 and 2021. RESULTS: The COVID-19 pandemic affected notifications, impairing proper monitoring. There was a reduction in cases of syphilis in pregnant women; however, an increase in cases of congenital syphilis was observed, possibly due to interruptions in reporting. Nurses play a crucial role in prenatal care, educating about syphilis, early diagnosis, and treatment adherence. Adequate prenatal care and proper treatment are essential to reduce vertical transmission. A preventive, inclusive, and high-quality approach is necessary to combat congenital syphilis. Primary Health Care should take responsibility for comprehensive care for pregnant women, aiming at effective prevention. FINAL CONSIDERATIONS: In conclusion, the study highlights the need for syphilis notification, strengthening prenatal care, professional training, access to diagnostics, and emotional support. The commitment of nursing is vital to improve maternal and infant health outcomes and reduce adverse consequences. Keywords: Prenatal care, congenital syphilis, gestational syphilis.
