Description:CDC’s Congenital Syphilis Supplemental Funding
Total award: $4 MILLION
The only national investment in congenital syphilis prevention and surveillance for 2017–2018.
In 2016, 628 cases of congenital syphilis (CS)–including 41 syphilitic stillbirths–were reported to CDC, a 28% increase from 2015. In response to the alarming rise in CS, CDC funded nine jurisdictions around the country accounting for 70% of all 2016 cases.
By the end of the project, (October 2017-December 2018) all nine jurisdictions had established CS morbidity and mortality review boards, reviewing ~200 CS cases, in order to identify missed opportunities in the public health and health care systems and to implement changes that will prevent future cases.
