Abstract EN
Congenital syphilis is still a cause of perinatal morbidity and mortality.
Untreated maternal infection leads to adverse pregnancy outcomes, including early fetal loss, stillbirth, prematurity, low birth weight, neonatal and infant death, and congenital disease among newborns.
Clinical manifestations of congenital syphilis are influenced by gestational age, stage of maternal syphilis, maternal treatment, and immunological response of the fetus.
It has been traditionally classified in early congenital syphilis and late congenital syphilis.
Diagnosis of maternal infection is based on clinical findings, serological tests, and direct identification of treponemes in clinical specimens.
Adequate treatment of maternal infection is effective for preventing maternal transmission to the fetus and for treating fetal infection.
Prenatal diagnosis of congenital syphilis includes noninvasive and invasive diagnosis.
Serological screening during pregnancy and during preconception period should be performed to reduce the incidence of congenital syphilis.
