The harm of syphilis is very great, but some people become pregnant while suffering from this disease, which may cause the baby to be troubled by this disease. So, what are the symptoms of syphilis in infants? What symptoms may a child exhibit? Let's take a look at the relevant content about infant syphilis together.
In fact, infantile syphilis is generally known as neonatal syphilis, which means it occurs at the time of birth. The main manifestation of this disease is that the child has a saddle nose or changes in the appearance of teeth. Of course, the child may also have conjunctival damage, and if the situation is severe, there may be neurological symptoms such as dizziness, vomiting, or nausea.
The reason why this disease occurs is because the pregnant mother has this disease in her body after pregnancy, and the bacteria in this disease are in the replication stage. In this way, these bacteria can invade the fetus's body through the placenta. Simply put, the pregnant mother did not undergo relevant examinations during pregnancy. Therefore, relevant hospitals now require pregnant mothers to undergo prenatal examinations in a timely manner.
If syphilis virus is found in the mother during prenatal examination, it is recommended to make the correct choice based on the doctor's opinion, otherwise it may harm the fetus.
