Congenital syphilis offers many parallels with perinatal HIV infection. Both affect multiple organs including the central nervous system, may be asymptomatic for months to years, and pose diagnostic dilemmas, especially from a laboratory perspective. Syphilis is a co-infection in some cases of HIV.

Monocytosis in Congenital Syphilis
Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1977We evaluated hematological findings, with special reference to the monocyte count, in ten infants with congenital syphilis. One patient had a monocytic leukemoid reaction and eight had absolute monocyte counts considerably higher than normal control infants. Monocytes appear to be an essential participant in the cellular reaction to treponema pallidum.

We report a case of an asymptomatic 3-month-old girl presenting to the emergency department with concern for congenital syphilis. Radiographs of the lower limbs demonstrate mild diffuse periosteal reaction involving the femur, tibia, and fibula and bilaterally symmetric lucencies and erosions of the medial proximal tibial metaphysis (Wimberger's sign).
