RESUMEN
Resumen La sífilis congénita es la infección del recién nacido (RN) por Treponema palllidum transmitida durante el embarazo desde la madre al feto. Actualmente, sigue siendo una causa importante de morbi-mortalidad fetal prevenible en todo el mundo, pese a que con un tratamiento adecuado y oportuno en la madre, se logra revertir en forma efectiva los resultados adversos en el feto y RN. Lo anterior destaca la importancia del control del embarazo, y la pesquisa precoz de la infección materna. Si bien, Chile ha experimentado un aumento de la incidencia de sífilis en la población general, se ha mantenido una tasa estable de sífilis congénita de 0,1 por 1.000 RN vivos. Presentamos el caso clínico de un RN, hijo de una madre sin control del embarazo, que presentó lesiones compatibles con un pénfigo sifilítico.
ABSTRACT
Abstract Congenital syphilis is the infection by Treponema pallidum of the newborn, due to mother-to-child transmission of spirochaetes during pregnancy. It remains as a major cause of preventable fetal and neonatal morbidity and mortality if the mother is not opportunely treated. This highlights the importance of an adequate prenatal control, early screening for maternal infection and timely treatment. Although Chile has experienced an increase in the incidence of syphilis in the general population, a stable rate of congenital syphilis in 0.1/1.000 live births has been maintained. In this case report, we present a newborn whose mother did not have antenatal control and showed dermatological lesions compatible with syphilitic pemphigus.
