Overview
The condition was well described in the 15th century and has long been recognized as a distinct syndrome in which the source is an infected adult. Several theories have been advanced to explain how the infection is transmitted, including transmission from a father infected with syphilis and transmission from an infant's nursing an infected wet nurse. Transplacental transmission from an asymptomatic infected mother was first described in 1906.
