Management of Early Congenital Syphilis in a Newborn Case with Maculopapular Rash
Journal Title: The Journal of Pediatric Research - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 3
Abstract
Congenital syphilis is preventable with proper antenatal follow-up and treatment of the pregnant woman infected with Treponema pallidum, and the rapid evaluation and early treatment of the newborns. Here we report a newborn with early congenital syphilis presenting with maculopapular rash and positive treponemal test born to an inadequately treated syphilitic mother.
