Syphilis during pregnancy can cause serious complications such as miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight.
If syphilis is not properly treated, it can lead to severe consequences for the baby, including brain damage, organ problems, or stillbirth.
The risk of transmission to the baby is low if the pregnant woman receives appropriate treatment. If the baby is exposed or infected, they can also receive treatment and be cured.
Testing for syphilis at least once during pregnancy—preferably during the first trimester and before the baby is born—allows for diagnosis and treatment.Syphilis during pregnancy can cause serious complications such as miscarriage, premature birth, and low birth weight.
