Objective: to estimate congenital syphilis (CS) incidence and associated factors in conceptae of pregnant women with syphilis attending primary health care centers in Belo Horizonte-MG, Brazil. Methods: retrospective cohort study of the period November/2010 to September/2013; data was obtained from electronic medical records; relative risk (RR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated. Results: 353 pregnant women with syphilis were included in the study; cumulative CS incidence was 33.4%; statistically associated factors were maternal age = 1:8 (RR=2.35; 95% CI: 1.62; 3.42). Conclusions: congenital syphilis incidence suggests failures in prenatal care and indicates the need for new strategies to reduce vertical transmission of the disease.
