Abstract

The number of congenital syphilis cases in Spain remains low; 40 cases were confirmed during 2016-2024. However, a slight increase has been observed, particularly in children born to migrant mothers. Young maternal age, migrant status, and social disadvantages are warning signs that underscore the need to strengthen prenatal screening.
