Abstract
|
|
|
|
Congenital syphilis is a rare disease nowadays because of prenatal screening test and early treatment. In the absence of proper maternal therapy, infection can result in stillbirth, prematurity, or a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations involving multiple organ systems. We took care of a preterm infant with apnea, desquamation on the palms of hands and thrombocytopenia at birth, and the serologic tests revealed congenital syphilis. We present a fatal case of early congenital syphilis of preterm newborn delivered by an untreated mother, with a brief review of literature.
