OBJECTIVE: To know the morbidity and mortality profile of congenital syphilis in five Health Regions of Santa Catarina from 2010 to 2019. METHODS AND MATERIALS: a descriptive, retrospective ecological study with a quantitative approach carried out in Santa Catarina, in five Health Regions from a total of 16 regions, selected according to the geographic distribution of the Regionalization Master Plan/2012. Secondary data from the Information System on Notifiable and Population Diseases of the Informatics Department of the Unified Health System were used. The collected data were organized, tabulated, and described in absolute and relative frequencies to identify the clinical characteristics of the newborn and the epidemiological profile based on the construction of morbidity and mortality indicators. RESULTS: The highest incidence occurred in the Northeast and Serra Catarinense Health Regions, although these are below 10 cases/1000 Live Births. Mortality rates in the Health Regions are low. The highest rates are in the Western Health Region (53.34 cases/100,000 LB) and Serra Catarinense (25.11 cases/100,000 LB). CONCLUSION: with this study, it was possible to describe the morbidity and mortality profile of congenital syphilis in five Health Regions of Santa Catarina in the period from 2010 to 2019, and this disease remains an important public health problem in Santa Catarina.
