Congenital Syphilis is a serious bacterial infection caused by *Treponema pallidum*, passed from a pregnant mother to her unborn child. It primarily affects infants born to mothers with untreated or inadequately treated syphilis, leading to severe and potentially life-threatening health problems. Track Syphilis activity and outbreaks specific to Maine.
Open Web AppSyphilis has a long and complex history, with congenital transmission recognized centuries ago, impacting families long before its bacterial cause was identified. The discovery of *Treponema pallidum* in 1905 by Schaudinn and Hoffmann, and later the introduction of penicillin in the mid-20th century, revolutionized the prevention and treatment of congenital syphilis, dramatically reducing its incidence.
Congenital Syphilis is transmitted vertically from a pregnant individual to their fetus across the placenta. This can occur at any stage of pregnancy if the mother has untreated or inadequately treated syphilis. The risk of transmission is highest during the primary and secondary stages of maternal syphilis.
