The characteristics of 67 confirmed congenital syphilis cases reported to the surveillance
system in Spain (2000–2010) were analyzed. The incidence rates ranged from 0.00 to 2.23
per 100,000 live births. Median age at diagnosis was 4 days. Hepatosplenomegaly was the
most common clinical finding, although almost 60% of the cases were asymptomatic. Missed
opportunities for congenital syphilis prevention through antenatal care were identified.
