Abstract
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.
