4.1 condition1: Infants with proven or highly probable disease and (1) an abnormal physical examination that is consistent with congenital syphilis;（2）a serum quantitative nontreponemal serologic titer that is fourfold higher than the mother's titer; or（3）a positive darkfield test of body fluid(s).

Preferred regimen (1): Aqueous crystalline penicillin G 100,000-150,000 U/kg/day, administered as 50,000 U/kg/dose IV q12h during the first 7 days of life and q8h thereafter for a total of 10 days

Note: If more than 1 day of therapy is missed, the entire course should be restarted. Data are insufficient regarding the use of other antimicrobial agents (e.g., ampicillin). When possible, a full 10-day course of penicillin is preferred, even if ampicillin was initially provided for possible sepsis. The use of agents other than penicillin requires close serologic follow-up to assess adequacy of therapy. In all other situations, the maternal history of infection with T. pallidum and treatment for syphilis must be considered when evaluating and treating the infant.

4.2 condition2: Infants who have a normal physical examination and a serum quantitive nontreponemal serologic titer the same or less than fourfold the maternal titer and the (1) mother was not treated, inadequately treated, or has no documentation of having received treatment; (2) mother was treated with erythromycin or another nonpenicillin regimen; or (3) mother received treatment <4 weeks before delivery.

Preferred regimen (1): Aqueous crystalline penicillin G 100,000-150,000 U/kg/day, administered as 50,000 U/kg/dose IV q12h during the first 7 days of life and q8h thereafter for a total of 10 days

Preferred regimen (2): Procaine penicillin G 50,000 U/kg/dose IM q24h for 10 days

Preferred regimen (3): Benzathine penicillin G 50,000 U/kg/dose IM single dose
Note: If the mother has untreated early syphilis at delivery, 10 days of parenteral therapy can be considered

4.3 condition3: Infants who have a normal physical examination and a serum quantitative nontreponemal serologic titer the same or less than fourfold the maternal titer and the (1) mother was treated during pregnancy, treatment was appropriate for the stage of infection, and treatment was administered >4 weeks before delivery and (2) mother has no evidence of reinfection or relapse.

Preferred regimen: Benzathine penicillin G 50,000 U/kg/dose IM single dose

4.4 condition4: Infants who have a normal physical examination and a serum quantitative nontreponemal serologic titer the same or less than fourfold the maternal titer and the (1) mother's treatment was adequate before pregnancy; and (2) mother's nontreponemal serologic titer remained low and stable before and during pregnancy and at delivery (VDRL <1:2; RPR <1:4).

No treatment is required
Benzathine penicillin G 50,000 U/kg IM single dose might be considered, particularly if follow-up is uncertain.

+*3. '''Syphilis During Pregnancy'''
+:* Pregnant women should be treated with the [[penicillin]] regimen appropriate for their stage of infection
+*4. '''Congenital Syphilis in neonates'''
+:*4.1 '''condition1''': Infants with proven or highly probable disease and (1) an abnormal physical examination that is consistent with congenital syphilis;（2）a serum quantitative nontreponemal serologic titer that is fourfold higher than the mother's titer; or（3）a positive darkfield test of body fluid(s).
+::* Preferred regimen (1): [[Aqueous crystalline penicillin G]] 100,000-150,000 U/kg/day, administered as 50,000 U/kg/dose IV q12h during the first 7 days of life and q8h thereafter for a total of 10 days
+::* Preferred regimen (2): [[Procaine penicillin G]] 50,000 U/kg/dose IM q24h for 10 days
+::* Note: If more than 1 day of therapy is missed, the entire course should be restarted. Data are insufficient regarding the use of other antimicrobial agents (e.g., ampicillin). When possible, a full 10-day course of penicillin is preferred, even if ampicillin was initially provided for possible sepsis. The use of agents other than penicillin requires close serologic follow-up to assess adequacy of therapy. In all other situations, the maternal history of infection with T. pallidum and treatment for syphilis must be considered when evaluating and treating the infant.
+:*4.2 '''condition2''': Infants who have a normal physical examination and a serum quantitive nontreponemal serologic titer the same or less than fourfold the maternal titer and the (1) mother was not treated, inadequately treated, or has no documentation of having received treatment; (2) mother was treated with erythromycin or another nonpenicillin regimen; or (3) mother received treatment <4 weeks before delivery.
+::* Preferred regimen (1): [[Aqueous crystalline penicillin G]] 100,000-150,000 U/kg/day, administered as 50,000 U/kg/dose IV q12h during the first 7 days of life and q8h thereafter for a total of 10 days
+::* Preferred regimen (2): [[Procaine penicillin G]] 50,000 U/kg/dose IM q24h for 10 days
+::* Preferred regimen (3): [[Benzathine penicillin G]] 50,000 U/kg/dose IM single dose
+::* Note: If the mother has untreated early syphilis at delivery, 10 days of parenteral therapy can be considered
+:*4.3 '''condition3''': Infants who have a normal physical examination and a serum quantitative nontreponemal serologic titer the same or less than fourfold the maternal titer and the (1) mother was treated during pregnancy, treatment was appropriate for the stage of infection, and treatment was administered >4 weeks before delivery and (2) mother has no evidence of reinfection or relapse.
+::* Preferred regimen: [[Benzathine penicillin G]] 50,000 U/kg/dose IM single dose
+:*4.4 '''condition4''': Infants who have a normal physical examination and a serum quantitative nontreponemal serologic titer the same or less than fourfold the maternal titer and the (1) mother's treatment was adequate before pregnancy; and (2) mother's nontreponemal serologic titer remained low and stable before and during pregnancy and at delivery (VDRL <1:2; RPR <1:4).
+::* No treatment is required
+::* [[Benzathine penicillin G]] 50,000 U/kg IM single dose might be considered, particularly if follow-up is uncertain.
