==Early congenital syphilis==
== Case Studies ==
This is a subset of cases of congenital syphilis. Newborns may be asymptomatic and are only identified on routine [[prenatal screening]]. If not identified and treated, these newborns develop poor feeding and [[rhinorrhea]]. By definition, early congenital syphilis occurs in children between 0 and 2 years old<ref>http://www.pitt.edu/~SUPER1/lecture/lec13881/008.htm</ref>. After, they can develop [[late congenital syphilis]].
[[Congenital syphilis case study one|Case #1]]


Symptomatic newborns, if not [[stillborn]], are born premature, with enlargement of the [[liver]], [[spleen]], skeletal abnormalities, [[pneumonia]] and a bullous skin disease known as pemphigus syphiliticus.

Death from congenital syphilis is usually through [[pulmonary hemorrhage]].
 
==Treatment==
If a pregnant mother is identified as being infected with syphilis, treatment can effectively prevent congenital syphilis from developing in the unborn child, especially if she is treated before the sixteenth week of pregnancy. The child is at greatest risk of contracting syphilis when the mother is in the early stages of infection, but the disease can be passed at any point during pregnancy, even during delivery (should the child have not contracted it already). However, a woman in the secondary stage of syphilis decreases her child's risk of developing congenital syphilis by 98% if she receives treatment before the last month of pregnancy<ref>http://www.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/hw195492.asp?navbar=hw195073</ref>. An afflicted child can be treated using antibiotics much like an adult, however any developmental symptoms are likely to be permanent.
