Summary

Syphilis is an infectious disease caused by Treponema pallidum. In children, there are two different forms of this disease; acquired syphilis and congenital syphilis, which results from transplacental transmission of spirochetes.

The worldwide incidence of congenital syphilis has increased in past years, probably due to inadequate control of pregnant women and lack of early diagnose and treatment in acute infected adults.

This infection can have numerous and non-specific manifestations at all stages, and may simulate other diseases, which can delay diagnose if not suspected.

A high number of newborns can be asymptomatic, so diagnose is confirmed or discharged by serologic testing after 6 to 10 months of age.

This study will observe the clinical presentation and the laboratory of patients with CS treated.
