Abstract: Congenital syphilis is a rare and serious disease that, although preventable, continues to be a major healthcare problem. Its clinical spectrum ranges from an asymptomatic infection to fulminating sepsis or death. A diagnosis of congenital syphilis was made in an 8‐week‐old infant whose mother had adequate prenatal care.

Clinics in Perinatology, 1994
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.

Archives of Pediatrics & Adolescent Medicine, 1985
Despite decades of experience with congenital syphilis, problems still arise in case definition, diagnostic evaluation, treatment, and follow-up. We reviewed all 50 cases of early congenital syphilis reported to the State of Texas in 1982. A large proportion of the infants were premature (39%), of low birth weight (38%), and symptomatic at birth (62%).

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.

Emergency Radiology, 2013
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).

Gestational and Congenital Syphilis
Clinics in Perinatology, 1988The frequency of congenital syphilis continues to increase throughout the United States during the 1980s. Untreated maternal infection can lead to stillbirth, premature labor, congenital infection, and neonatal death. Preventive measures, based on control of early syphilis in women, prenatal care, improved diagnosis and diligent followup, can help to ...

RESURGENCE OF CONGENITAL SYPHILIS
Infectious Disease Clinics of North America, 1992As a result of the alarming increase in primary and secondary syphilis in the United States, congenital syphilis has resurged in many areas, including Detroit. Several maternal risk factors have been identified as contributing to the increase in congenital syphilis, the most important of which are poor prenatal care and the trading of sex for illicit ...

The lesions of congenital syphilis
The British Journal of Radiology, 1970Abstract The clinical and radiological presentation of 108 cases of prenatal or congenital syphilis from a ten-year survey are reviewed. Part I deals with 102 cases of early syphilis aged from one day to six months. The bony presentations are reviewed and the relative incidence of the varying appearances stated.

The incidence of infectious syphilis is increasing in the United States, particularly among women. Not surprisingly, congenital syphilis rates have also risen. These have led to a rekindling of interest in the manifestations and treatment of primary, secondary, and latent syphilis.

Congenital Syphilis in Massachusetts
New England Journal of Medicine, 1951PHYSICIANS are in agreement that congenital syphilis is preventable. Modern medicine has provided the medical profession with epidemiologic, diagnostic and therapeutic weapons so that congenital syphilis need not occur. Hence, the key to the solution of the problem of congenital syphilis is the prevention and control of syphilis in pregnancy.
