Case description

Syphilis is a sexually transmitted disease caused by the spirochete Treponema pallidum. It is of special concern during pregnancy because can lead to adverse pregnancy outcomes and congenital syphilis. We present two cases of such complication during pregnancy. The first patient was a 26-year-old female G2P2, positive for CMV IgM, HCV, rubella and VDRL, who reported to the hospital at 30 weeks of gestation with lower abdominal pain. PPROM was diagnosed and cesarean section had to be performed due to non-reassuring CTG tracings and breech presentation of the fetus. Alive son was born (1600 g /46 cm, 4-6-7 points Apgar score) with respiratory failure, ascites and anorectal obstruction.
