Congenital Syphilis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Congenital syphilis is an infection that a baby can acquire during pregnancy or delivery when the mother lives with untreated syphilis. Prenatal follow-up is key to preventing it and detecting it in time.
In the care of the newborn, the neonatologist and the pediatrician participate, who evaluate the baby; during pregnancy, the gynecologist follows up on the mother's health, and the dermatologist may intervene when there are skin manifestations.
Possible manifestations in the baby: They can include involvement of the skin, mucous membranes, bones, or other organs, although at times there are no evident signs at birth.
Why does early care matter? Complete prenatal monitoring and timely evaluation of the newborn allow for appropriate support. When faced with any doubt about infections during pregnancy, it is advisable to discuss it with the professional who conducts the follow-up.
