As of late, the incidence of congenital syphilis in the United States is increasing. Each new case represents a failure of preventing, diagnosing, and treating syphilis in pregnant women. Pediatricians should confirm that all women have received adequate screening for and management of syphilis during pregnancy. Congenital syphilis is easily treatable but may be a diagnostic challenge with high morbidity and mortality.
近年来，美国先天性梅毒的发病率呈上升趋势。每一例新病例都表明在预防、诊断和治疗孕妇梅毒方面存在失误。儿科医生应确认所有女性在孕期都接受了充分的梅毒筛查和管理。先天性梅毒易于治疗，但可能是一个诊断难题，且发病率和死亡率很高。
