Resumen

HERRERA-ORTIZ, Antonia et al. Trend analysis of acquired syphilis in Mexico from 2003 to 2013. Salud pública Méx [online]. 2015, vol.57, n.4, pp.335-342. ISSN 0036-3634.

Objective. To identify the population group in which syphilis increase was concentrated. Materials and methods. The information was collected from the Mexico health statistical yearbooks. The information disaggregated by sex, age group and state during the period 2003 to 2013 was used to form different databases. Linear regression analysis with confidence interval at 95% was used to evaluate changes over time in different population groups. Results. An increase of 0.67 cases per 100000 population (95%CI 0.30-1.04) in men was detected from 2010. The increase was concentrated in each group of 20-24 and 25-44. The highest incidence of acquired syphilis was reported in the last two years: 2012 and 2013. The last year reported a 1.85 times higher incidence than reported in 2003. Aguascalientes, Distrito Federal, Durango, Mexico, Oaxaca, Puebla, Quintana Roo, Yucatan and Zacatecas reported that syphilis increased during the study period. Conclusion. Acquired syphilis may be reemerging in our country among young men; this increase is not uniform across the country, it is necessary to focus intervention measures for this sexually transmitted infection.
