“…The missed opportunity to prevent congenital syphilis with BPG administration might be explained in part by documented deficiencies in healthcare professionals’ understanding of the appropriate approach to maternal syphilis ( 11 , 42 ). Of note, similar missed opportunities have been reported in other settings; a report from the United States found lack of adequate maternal treatment despite timely diagnosis was responsible for 30.7% of missed prevention opportunities ( 44 ), and in 2022, missed prevention opportunities because of inadequate treatment ranged from 15.7% to 54.5% in various regions of the United States ( 20 ).…”

“…Respecto al nivel de conocimientos, considerado regular, nuestros resultados son similares a lo publicado en estudios previos desarrollados en personal sanitario de Brasil, Colombia y Estados Unidos (9,11,12). El hallazgo de los mejores niveles de conocimientos en los médicos residentes y el bajo nivel en enfermeras también fue descrito en hospitales de Teresina (Brasil) por Rodrigues et al en 2018 (13), quienes postulan que esta situación podría estar relacionada con la mayor rotación del personal de enfermería, que probablemente estaría menos familiarizado con los protocolos.…”

“…Em todos os artigos foram encontradas lacunas do conhecimento dos profissionais de saúde em relação ao manejo da sífilis tanto a nível nacional quanto internacional. Na Colômbia, o desconhecimento foi evidenciado no tratamento da sífilis na gestação (Garcés et al, 2017). Nos EUA um estudo evidenciou que profissionais realizavam de maneira equivocada a administração da penicilina benzatina para o tratamento da sífilis (Gertler, Ahrens & Klausner, 2009).…”
