==Epidemiology and Demographics==
===Incidence===
*It is estimated that every year 2 million [[pregnant]] women are infected with [[syphilis]] every year.
*In 2005, WHO reported that 460,000 [[abortions]] or [[still birth]] and 270,000 cases of [[congenital syphilis]] every year can be attributed to maternal [[syphilis]].
*The [[incidence]] of [[congenital syphilis]] in United States in the year 2014 is 11.6 cases per 100,000 [[live births]]. The incidence of [[congenital syphilis]] has increased when compared to the numbers from 2008 to 2012 and the change is attributed to the increase in the number of women with primary and secondary [[syphilis]].<ref name="pmid25487961">{{cite journal| author=Peterman TA, Su J, Bernstein KT, Weinstock H| title=Syphilis in the United States: on the rise? | journal=Expert Rev Anti Infect Ther | year= 2015 | volume= 13 | issue= 2 | pages= 161-8 | pmid=25487961 | doi=10.1586/14787210.2015.990384 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=25487961  }} </ref><ref name="pmid26562206">{{cite journal| author=Bowen V, Su J, Torrone E, Kidd S, Weinstock H| title=Increase in incidence of congenital syphilis - United States, 2012-2014. | journal=MMWR Morb Mortal Wkly Rep | year= 2015 | volume= 64 | issue= 44 | pages= 1241-5 | pmid=26562206 | doi=10.15585/mmwr.mm6444a3 | pmc= | url=https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=26562206  }} </ref>


==Overview==
===Race===
 
*[[Congenital syphilis]] is ten times more [[prevalent]] in African American population compared to whites and three times more common in blacks compared to Hispanics.
==Epidemiology and Demographics==
According to the [[Centers for Disease Control and Prevention|CDC]], 40% of births to syphilitic mothers are [[stillborn]], 40-70% of the survivors will be infected, and 12% of these will subsequently die.
During 2005--2008, Congenital Syphilis rates increased primarily in the South (from 9.6 per 100,000 live births to 15.7) and among infants born to black mothers (from 26.6 per 100,000 live births to 34.6).[[http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/mm5914a1.htm]]
