Plano de intervenção para controle da sífilis pela equipe de saúde da família escola na população de Passos, Minas Gerais

Abstract

The city of Passos is located in the southwest region of Minas Gerais, 335 km from the capital, Belo Horizonte. It has an area of 1,338.07 km² and a population of 114,458 inhabitants. After a situational diagnosis of the family health team, the difficulty of diagnosis and treatment of syphilis in the population of Passos was defined as a priority problem. Syphilis is a systemic infection caused by Treponema pallidum, which is unique to humans and, when not treated early, can progress to a chronic disease with long-term irreversible sequelae. The present study had as objective to elaborate an intervention plan for syphilis control by the School ESF. For this, bibliographic research was done in the Scientific Electronic Library Online (SciELO), as well as in the notebooks and manuals of the Ministry of Health on the subject, with a temporal cut of the last ten years. The plan was based on Strategic Situational Planning. It was possible to observe the team's work and its potential for syphilis control within the scope of the ESF as one of the key points for the effectiveness of the actions of the proposed plan. The implementation of such a plan will contribute to the diagnosis and appropriate management of syphilis in FHT, thus reducing the incidence of infection and reinfection, as well as perinatal and neonatal complications, increasing maternal and neonatal quality of life. In addition, with increased adherence to rapid tests will be possible early diagnosis of other infections, such as HIV and hepatitis B and C.
