Purpose: The aim of the study was to assess the epidemiological situation of syphilis cases in Poland in 2020 in comparison to previous years.
Material and methods: Analysis of the epidemiological situation was based on case-based data from reports of newly detected syphilis cases received from doctors and laboratories in 2020. Additionally aggregated data from MZ-56 reports on infectious diseases, infections and poisoning from 2014 to 2018 sent from Sanitary Inspections to NIPH NIH -NRI was used. Also, data about treatment patients in dermatology/venerology clinics in 2020 reported on MZ-14 forms and published in statistics bulletin on Ministry of Health on e-health system website (actually: https://e-zdrowie.gov.pl; https://cez.gov.pl) and NIPH NIH - NRI website were used.
Results: In 2020 in Poland 686 newly diagnosed syphilis cases were reported (diagnosis rate was 1.79 per 100,000), including 18 cases among non-Polish citizens. The frequency of newly detected syphilis cases decreased by 54.6% compared to the previous year and similar decreased 52.5% compared to the median in 2014-2018 years. The syphilis cases were most often detected in the age group between 20 and 39 years (68.9%) and among men (86.2%). On the other hand, places where syphilis cases are treated, reported 1,529 cases - less by 4% than in 2019 year, including 979 cases on early stage of syphilis.
Conclusion: In 2020, the number of reported a newly detected syphilis cases decreased more than by half compared to the previous year, what is probably related to the COVID-19 pandemic and action taken to reduce it. A huge difference in some regions in Poland for diagnosis rates and not visible a significant decrease in the number of treated person, indicate on problem with reporting a newly diagnosed infections, as a main explanation about increasing observed in 2020.
