Texas accounts for 25% of national congenital syphilis cases in 2022
Syphilis cases have increased dramatically, with a 500% rise in Lubbock County from 2019 to 2023. Texas, alone, reported approximately 25% of U.S. congenital syphilis cases in 2022, indicating a broader public health threat. This rise in congenital syphilis is particularly concerning and a harbinger for systemic issues with the healthcare system. Healthcare professionals must screen patients for risk factors, increase routine testing and administer effective treatment protocols.
