A sexually transmitted infection (STI) that was once thought to be a thing of the past is now a public health priority for North American doctors.

Syphilis cases skyrocketed during the COVID-19 pandemic, according to a new report from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Between 2020 and 2022, new cases of syphilis increased by 30 per cent in people ages 15 to 49 in the Americas, the WHO report indicated.

The infections recorded in North and South America in 2022 made up 42 per cent of all new cases worldwide with a rate of 6.5 cases per 1,000 people.

"There are multiple factors that have probably gotten together and caused this surge," said Monica Alonso, the unit chief for STIs at the Pan American Health Organization.

Health professionals point to factors such as a lack of awareness, low testing rates, barriers to health care, stigma and an increase in substance use.
