Syphilis in pregnancy: an ongoing public health threat
2022, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Fetuses with detectable ultrasound stigmata of syphilis are considered severely infected and at higher risk of the JH reaction, preterm labor, fetal heart rate decelerations, intrauterine fetal demise, and treatment failure. These possibilities should be included in patient counseling.47,54,55,60,61 It is our practice to document the following during the comprehensive ultrasound:
Comparative genomics of the transportome of Ten Treponema species
2019, Microbial PathogenesisCitation Excerpt :The most significant pathogen of the Treponema genus is T. pallidum, which is the causative agent of syphilis. This disease may be transmitted horizontally by sexual contact or vertically via hematogenous dissemination across the placental wall [95]. Each year, there are 11–12 million new cases of syphilis in human adults [93], while the estimated number of cases of congenital syphilis range between 700,000 and 1,500,000.
Syphilis during pregnancy: a preventable threat to maternal-fetal health
2017, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Vertical transmission of syphilis occurs in all stages of syphilis and in each trimester of pregnancy.31-35 Fetal infection occurs in >50% of untreated early syphilis and 35% of untreated latent disease.9,12 Amniocentesis and percutaneous umbilical blood sampling were previously used to document fetal infection, but comprehensive fetal ultrasound is now the most common method used to evaluate for fetal infection.32-34,36,37
Progression of ultrasound findings of fetal syphilis after maternal treatment
2014, American Journal of Obstetrics and GynecologyCitation Excerpt :Early-stage maternal syphilis was not associated with an abnormal pretreatment ultrasound scanning in our cohort. This latter finding seems counterintuitive to our current understanding of vertical transmission.4 One explanation is that our patients were at various gestational ages and varying degrees of fetal immunocompetence.
