SALT LAKE COUNTY , Utah — Salt Lake County health officials reported an"alarming" increase of 800 percent in cases of women contracting the sexually transmitted infection syphilis.
Numbers detailing the exact number of cases Utah's most populous county has seen were not made available by officials. Syphilis during pregnancy can lead to stillbirth, miscarriage or neonatal death and surviving infants who don't receive the proper treatment can experience long-term health impacts such as blindness and deafness.
Utah's data comes days after the national data released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention called rising newborn syphilis cases"dire," with a nearly 32 percent increase in the last year.
