Abstract

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection, caused by Treponema pallidum, which mainly causes a series of genital lesions in infected individuals. Being characterized as a pathology with an effective and low-cost treatment, there are numerous barriers to its control. Therefore, the present study aims to characterize the syphilis cases of patients seen in Primary Care and in outpatient services, thus highlighting risk situations and conditions that can be useful in the development of measures to control such problems, through of an integrative review with search performed in the following databases: Scielo, PubMed, Lilacs and Medline, where 25 publications were found through the descriptors: Syphilis, Primary Health Care and Ambulatory Care combined with the Boolean operator AND and the keyword Clinical Profile, and at the end, after complete analysis of the material, only 15 publications remained for the composition of this study. The results showed that men who have sex with other men are the main risk group related to cases of acquired syphilis and that women are more vulnerable to this situation during pregnancy. Situations such as low education and socioeconomic vulnerability are determinants present in this condition, in addition to risk behaviors, such as multiple partners and the use of applications, contribute strongly to the spread of such infection.
