The rate of congenital syphilis is declining in the United States, but congenital syphilis is still a significant public health problem. Maternal serum screening is the mainstay of diagnosis. Maternal treatment will prevent most, but not all, cases of congenital syphilis. Access to prenatal care is critical to further reduce the rate of congenital syphilis.
美国先天性梅毒的发病率正在下降,但先天性梅毒仍是一个重大的公共卫生问题。母体血清筛查是诊断的主要手段。母体治疗可预防大多数但并非所有的先天性梅毒病例。获得产前护理对于进一步降低先天性梅毒发病率至关重要。
