ABSTRACT
The infections that affect the binomial mother-son during pregnancy are of great concern
to obstetricians and pediatricians because of its frequency and difficulty in reaching an
etiological diagnosis that is important for early treatment. Most newborns with congenital
infection are asymptomatic; this shows the importance of laboratory screening for diseases
that are transmitted during the pregnancy-puerperal cycle of women. This review aims to
provide recommendations with regard to congenital infection by Treponema pallidum and
Toxoplasma gondii. Syphilis is one of the diseases with the highest rates of mother-to-child
tion is preventable through adequate maternal treatment
with benzathine penicillin, which presents great cost-
benefit value. Toxoplasmosis is a parasitosis of worldwide
distribution, with high prevalence in our environment. The
serological screening during the prenatal period allows
the detection of susceptible pregnant women who should
be prioritized in educational activities and monitored for
possible seroconversion. The early treatment of pregnant
women with acute infection can reduce the maternal-fetal
transmission or fetal impairment improving the prognosis
of infected newborns. Syphilis and congenital toxoplas-
mosis can be avoided with a high quality prenatal, which
should be available and accessible. Preventive and
diagnostic actions should be intensified in the monitoring
of pregnant women, especially in the basic health units
(UBS), to generate population impacting results.
