In June 2017, the Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists (CSTE) approved the Update to Public Health Reporting and National Notification for Syphilis. This new position statement for syphilis (17-ID-11) includes revisions to the surveillance case definition for syphilis.

These changes will take effect January 1, 2018. By ensuring that cases of syphilis are reported in accordance with this revised surveillance case definition, we can obtain the most accurate surveillance for this disease and its clinical manifestations, and we can better address syphilitic infection and transmission.
