description The number of syphilis cases in Tokyo has been found to increase in recent years. We conducted a descriptive epidemiology to elucidate the actual status of syphilis. Data on age, sex, disease stage, and presumed sexual partner of syphilis cases reported in Tokyo were tabulated and analyzed. A total of 9,419 syphilis cases have been reported between 2019 and 2022. There was a particularly sharp rise in the number of reported cases from 2021 to 2022. Comparing 2020 to 2022, the number of syphilis cases among women in their 20s, rapidly increased, more than triple. Furthermore, the number of pregnant women among syphilis cases increased in 2022. Despite the rapid increase in the number of young women with syphilis, there has been no increase in cases of congenital syphilis. One of the reasons may be that syphilis was detected early in pregnancy due to the high antenatal checkup rate in Tokyo. However, the continued incidence of syphilis among young women may increase congenital syphilis in the future. Public health strategy should include educational activities targeting high-risk populations or adolescents, early and appropriate testing, and treatment for preventing progression of syphilis.
