What is the Impact of Covid-19 Pandemic Era on Pregnant Women Sero-Positivity for Syphilis Among Women
Attending Antenatal Care in India and Number of Babies
Diagnosed with Congenital Syphilis?
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) still continue to be a major public health problem globally, affecting the quality of life as well as causing serious morbidity and mortality. STIs have a direct and significant impact on reproductive and child health. They can directly cause infertility, cancers
as well as pregnancy complications, and indirectly affects individual economies. The information on the number of PW found to be sero positive for
Syphilis among women attending antenatal care in India and number of babies diagnosed with Congenital Syphilis is collected from HMIS electronic
records of MoHFW, Government of India with key objective to know about the impact of covid-19 era i.e., 2020 and 2021 on prevalence of syphilis
by comparing it with the pre pandemic era of 2018 and 2019. I collected sero positivity data for Syphilis among women attending antenatal care
in India and number of babies diagnosed with Congenital Syphilis across 36 states and union territories of India including all health facilities viz.
public, private, rural, urban health facilities.
The data is collected, observed and analyzed with Microsoft office software. Among 254705.2 averages
per month number of PW (pregnant women) tested using POC test for Syphilis, 2144.4 averages per month were sero positive for Syphilis giving
a sero-prevalence of 0.84 % in 2021(Jan to May). Of 175579.75 averages per month number of PW tested using POC test for Syphilis, 855.58 averages per month were sero positive for Syphilis giving a sero-prevalence of 0.49 % in 2020(Jan to Dec). Of 53313.66 averages per month number
of PW tested using POC test for Syphilis, 419.33 averages per month were sero positive for Syphilis giving a sero-prevalence of 0.79 % in 2019
(Jan to Dec). Of 11364.75averages per month number of PW tested using POC test for Syphilis, 339.08 averages per month were sero positive for
Syphilis giving a sero-prevalence of 2.98 % in 2018 (Jan to Dec).
Sexually transmitted infections (STIs) still continue to be a major public health problem globally, affecting the quality of life as
well as causing serious morbidity and mortality. STIs have a direct
and significant impact on reproductive and child health. They can
directly cause infertility, cancers as well as pregnancy complications, and indirectly affects individual economies. On daily basis a
million (10 lakh) STIs are acquired, in year 2012, 357 million new
cases of curable STIs which includes gonorrhoea, chlamydia, syphilis and trichomoniasis occurred mainly among 15- to 49-year-olds
