Five babies, aged between one to three months presented with clinical and serological evidence of syphilis. In addition to the usual periosteal and metaphyseal bone lesions of lues, areas of focal lucencies and sequestra were present. The association of sequestra in focal diaphyseal erosions may represent a non-dystrophic manifestation of the disease. The lesions were attributed to the syphilitic process. Trivial trauma to disorganised metaphyses, dystrophic changes and possibly focal osteomyelitis account for the spectrum of bone lesions in congenital syphilis. No tubular bone appears immune to these processes.
五名年龄在1至3个月的婴儿出现了梅毒的临床和血清学证据。除了梅毒常见的骨膜和干骺端骨病变外，还存在局灶性透亮区和死骨。局灶性骨干侵蚀中死骨的出现可能代表了该疾病的一种非营养不良性表现。这些病变归因于梅毒感染过程。对紊乱的干骺端的轻微创伤、营养不良性改变以及可能的局灶性骨髓炎构成了先天性梅毒骨病变的范围。没有管状骨能免受这些病变过程的影响。
