Congenital syphilis may be acquired by the unborn baby from the mother via vertical transmission. The early and late signs and symptoms of congenital syphilis are the following:

Early symptoms

  • Prematurity
  • Enlarged liver and spleen (Hepatosplenomegaly)
  • Skeletal abnormalities
  • Pneumonia
  • Pemphigus syphiliticus (skin disease)

Late symptoms

  • Frontal bossing (prominent brow ridge)
  • interstitial keratitis  (inflammation of cornea)
  • Saddle nose (bony part is destroyed)
  • Deafness (cranial nerve 8 disease)
  • Hutchinson's teeth (blunted upper incisor teeth)
  • Hard palate defect
  • Protruding mandible
  • Saber shins
  • Swollen knees

Treatment of Syphilis

Aqueous crystalline penicillin G 100,000–150,000 units/kg/day, administered as 50,000 units/kg/dose IV every 12 hours during the first 7 days of life and every 8 hours thereafter for a total of 10 days .

OR

Procaine penicillin G 50,000 units/kg/dose IM in a single daily dose for 10 days

Getting a syphilis test at your first prenatal visit can prevent health complications for both mother and infant.
