Overview

Congenital syphilis must be differentiated from other TORCH infections.

Differential Diagnosis

The most important congenital infections, which can be transmitted vertically from mother to fetus are the TORCH infections. These infections have overlapping features and hence, must be differentiated from congenital syphilis :[1][2]

Congenital Infection Cardiac Findings Skin Findings Ocular Findings Hepatosplenomegaly Hydrocephalus Microcephaly Intracranial Calcifications Hearing deficits
Toxoplasmosis ✔ ✔ ✔ Diffuse intracranial calcifications
Congenital Syphils ✔
Rubella ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) ✔ ✔ ✔ Periventricular calcifications ✔
Herpes simplex virus (HSV) ✔ ✔ ✔ ✔
Parvovirus B19 ✔
