CONGENITAL SYPHILIS: RESURGENCE OF AN OLD PROBLEM

Robert H. Wilkinson M.D.1 and Richard M. Heller M.D.1

1 Department of Radiology, Harvard Medical School and the Children's Hospital Medical Center, Boston, Massachusetts

Three infants with congenital syphilis, unrecognized and unsuspected until diagnosis by roentgenograms, are described. Absence of this disease from the same children's hospital for the preceding 5 years may in part explain failure to suspect syphilis in these infants. Lack of communication in a period of frequent movement of patients from clinic to clinic and doctor to doctor is also a factor. The current increase in venereal disease requires a tightening of hospital routines and an increased alertness for a well known but temporarily forgotten pediatric problem.
