Four isolated cases of congenital syphilis born to mothers who screened syphilis negative in the first trimester were identified between March 2016 and January 2017 compared with three cases between 2010 and 2015. The mothers were United Kingdom-born and had no syphilis risk factors. Cases occurred in areas with recent increases in sexually-transmitted syphilis among women and men who have sex with men, some behaviourally bisexual, which may have facilitated bridging between sexual networks.
2016年3月至2017年1月期间,发现了4例先天性梅毒病例,其母亲在孕早期梅毒筛查呈阴性,而在2010年至2015年期间为3例。这些母亲出生于英国,没有梅毒风险因素。病例发生在男男性行为者(包括一些双性恋者)中近期性传播梅毒有所增加的地区,这可能促进了性网络之间的交叉传播。
