OBJECTIVE: To describe the epidemiological profile of acquired syphilis by macro-region in the state of Bahia, Brazil, in the years 2018–2022. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Retrospective, descriptive, ecological study, using the SINAN database, by health macro-region, considering the variables: year of notification, race/color, sex, and age group. The data was organized, and prevalence and lethality were calculated in Microsoft Excel. RESULTS: The state presented an average of 9 thousand cases per year. The East macro-region recorded 21,416 cases, representing more than half of the cases in the five years. Between 2020 and 2021, there was a reduction in the number of cases reported in all macro-regions, a period concomitant with the COVID-19 pandemic. There was a higher prevalence in males (56.7%), in the age group of 20 and 34 years (43.8%), and self-declared brown race/color (45.31%) in all macro-regions. The highest fatality rates were recorded in the Central-North (2.34%) and Northeast (1.93%) macro-regions. CONCLUSIONS: The Northeast and Central-North macro-regions have the lowest notifications. The highest fatality rates were recorded in the Central-North and Northeast macro-regions. There is a need to carry out active searches, testing campaigns, and health education for the young and male population, mainly in the Eastern macro-region.
