ABSTRACT
Analysis of congenital syphilis in 455 infants and neonates between 1977-1991 in Children's Hospital, Bangkok, Thailand revealed 11 cases (2.4%) with evidence of congenital syphilitic nephrotic syndrome which were confirmed by clinical, serologic and laboratory findings, long bone x-rays and renal biopsy. Ages of all 11 cases were between 1 day to 2 months (mean 24 days); 6 were boys and 5 girls. Two of them died because of necrotizing enterocolitis and sepsis respectively; the mortality rate was 18%. The other nine had complete recovery following penicillin therapy.
