Zusammenfassung:Objective: to learn how a diagnosis of congenital syphilis in newborns affects the mothers. Method: in this qualitative study of 15 mothers of newborns with congenital syphilis admitted to a public hospital in southern Brazil, data were collected by semistructured interview, and treated by content analysis. The study was approved by the research ethics committee. Results: the mothers expressed feelings of guilt, despair, sadness and horror. They hoped not to transmit the infection to the newborn. The disease was found to have recurred in more than one pregnancy. They reported fear of social stigma, and looked for information about the disease on the Internet, as well as from doctors and nurses. Conclusion: mothers are misinformed regarding infection by syphilis, especially on how to prevent vertical transmission and reinfection. It is up to nurses to instruct mothers on how to care for newborns with congenital syphilis, through an educational process to improve care for the child and the mother. Descriptors: Syphilis, congenital; infectious disease transmission, vertical; family; nursing. Objetivo: conhecer as repercussoes do diagnostico da Sifilis Congenita no recem- nascido para a mae.
