Objective: to analyze the epidemiological scenario of acquired syphilis in Várzea Grande, Baixada Cuiabana and Mato Grosso. Methods: An ecological study that analyzed the detection rates of general acquired syphilis and disaggregated by sex and age group in Várzea Grande, in the Baixada Cuiabana health region and in the state of Mato Grosso in the period from 2010 to 2021. Thematic maps were constructed for three years (2010-2012, 2013-2015, 2016-2018, 2019-2021). Results: The rate of detection of acquired syphilis showed an upward trend in Várzea Grande, Baixada Cuiabana and in the state, mainly among young people, especially among males. Conclusions: The occurrence of acquired syphilis increased between 2010 and 2021 in the studied locations, more significantly in the last two trienniums.
