Preventing congenital syphilis is crucial. Early screening with treponemal and non-treponemal tests, followed by penicillin treatment and diligent follow-up for mother and child, significantly reduces adverse outcomes.

Area of Science:

  • Obstetrics and Gynecology
  • Infectious Diseases
  • Maternal-Fetal Medicine

Context:

  • Syphilis poses significant risks to pregnant individuals, fetuses, and newborns.
  • Early detection and management are critical for preventing adverse outcomes.
  • Current guidelines emphasize serological screening and penicillin-based treatment.

Purpose:

  • To outline the consequences of untreated syphilis during pregnancy.
  • To detail recommended screening, diagnostic, and treatment protocols.
  • To emphasize the importance of follow-up for mother, fetus, and child.

Summary:

  • Serological screening for syphilis using both treponemal and non-treponemal tests is recommended at the first prenatal visit.
  • Benzathine penicillin G is the primary treatment; alternative therapies are less evaluated. Management of penicillin allergy and Jarisch-Herxheimer reactions is discussed.

  • Close clinical and biological follow-up of the mother, fetus, and child is essential to ensure treatment efficacy and prevent congenital syphilis.

    • Impact:

    • Effective syphilis management during pregnancy can prevent considerable morbidity and mortality.
    • Adherence to screening and treatment protocols reduces the risk of congenital syphilis.
    • Timely diagnosis and complete treatment are vital, especially in late-stage pregnancies or cases of reinfection or HIV coinfection.
