Two infants, a two-month-old boy and a two-month-old girl adopted from Sri Lanka, were diagnosed as having congenital syphilis and treated accordingly. The girl presented with only skin symptoms and a developing pseudoparalysis of Parrot. The boy was in quite a bad condition, having rhinitis, an oedematous appearance, skin symptoms, severe anaemia and hepatosplenomegaly. In both patients serological blood tests and cerebrospinal fluid tests for lues were positive. Both children showed osteochondritis and periostitis of the long bones on X-rays. This disease is rare in the Netherlands, but it is important to diagnose it early, because early adequate treatment may result in complete cure.
两名从斯里兰卡收养的婴儿，一名两个月大的男婴和一名两个月大的女婴，被诊断患有先天性梅毒并接受了相应治疗。女孩仅表现出皮肤症状和正在发展的帕罗特假性麻痹。男孩病情相当严重，患有鼻炎、外观水肿、皮肤症状、严重贫血和肝脾肿大。两名患者的梅毒血清学血液检查和脑脊液检查均呈阳性。两名儿童的X线检查均显示长骨有骨软骨炎和骨膜炎。这种疾病在荷兰很少见，但早期诊断很重要，因为早期进行充分治疗可能会完全治愈。
