Gestational Syphilis

Presently, the diagnosis of syphilis is dependent mainly on serological tests. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We present two cases of young pregnant women who were diagnosed syphilis during their antenatal visit. [ukm.pure.elsevier.com]

Penicillin-allergic pregnant women present management dilemmas. Erythromycin failure occurs in 10% of nonpregnant women with early syphilis. [glowm.com]

  • Noncompliance

    Several factors contributed to the increase in congenital syphilis, including increased incidence of maternal disease, failure to detect maternal disease, noncompliance with treatment recommendations, and fetal treatment failure. [journals.lww.com]

    HIB is safe for infants with AIDS. 58) B - lack of symptoms, troublesome side effects of the medications, complex regimens result in noncompliance. There are effective medications for hypertension. [online-nursing-dot.com]

  • Chronic Diarrhea

    Renal and ocular manifestations and, occasionally, syphilitic pneumonitis, chronic diarrhea, or myocarditis may occur in early congenital syphilis. [glowm.com]

  • Myopathy

    Features of syphilis in HIV include: generalized lymphadenopathy; splenomegaly; hepatitis; skin rashes, alopecia or both; oral manifestations; cognitive impairment; meningitis; cranial nerve palsies; myopathies; and uveitis. [academic.oup.com]

  • Multiple Ulcerations

    ulcerations can occur if coexisting HIV infection Can persist 3-6wks without treatment 4 Secondary Syphilis 25% of untreated patients will develop secondary syphilis Rash Most characteristic finding Diffuse symmetric maculopapular rash Includes trunk [slideplayer.com]

Two of the six fetal treatment failures produced preterm stillborns. Only one maternal treatment failure occurred, in a human immunodeficiency virus-infected woman. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

However, we must also consider congenital syphilis as a risk factor for the concomitant occurrence of infections with distinct etiology in these newborns. [omicsonline.org]

Infection is thought to be a major etiologic factor in some preterm labors. When cervical, vaginal, or urinary tract infections are present, the risk of preterm birth is increased (Box 3). [intranet.tdmu.edu.ua]
