Proceso de atención de enfermería aplicado en neonato con sífilis congénita.

Congenital syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease that infects the fetus through the blood. It is caused by Treponema pallidum. Its treatment is effective, and the main diagnostic factor of congenital syphilis is the correct diagnosis of the mother's disease. In adults and during pregnancy, the disease goes through three stages (primary, secondary and tertiary), each with different clinical signs and transmission risks. The second stage is self-limiting, giving way to an asymptomatic period known as the incubation period. In newborns, the disease does not appear in the primary stage but begins in the secondary stage, as the infection progresses through the placental transfusion route. Difficult to diagnose definitively and based on unknotted serological tests (VDRL, RPR). Transmission to the newborn depends on the stage of the mother's disease and the number of weeks of pregnancy. Syphilis is usually transmitted to the fetus when a pregnant woman with active disease (RPR 1/8 or higher) is less than 5 years old and has not received adequate penicillin treatment in 95% of cases and subsequent doses are administered to the mother.
