Skeletal radiographic findings in neonates with congenital syphilis

Objective To evaluate the values of skeletal radiographs in diagnosing congenital syphilis in newborns. Methods Twenty eight bone radiographs were obtained for newborns with congenital syphilis and their abnormalities were analyzed. Results Bone radiographic abnormalities were identified in 26 of 28 cases. There were deepening or increase of the width of the provisional zone of calcification (23 cases), serrated appearances of the zone at the diaphyso epiphyseal junction (19 cases), lucent metaphyseal bands (26 cases), periosteal reactions (6 cases), and osteomyelitis (5 cases). The skeletal changes were multiple, symmetric, and extensive, and changes were also found in irregular bones besides long bone in most of cases. Conclusion There was high frequency of bone abnormalities in newborns with congenital syphilis. The bone radiographic findings were characteristic, and it could be served as means of diagnosing this condition. The irregular bones such as pelvis should also be included in radiographs.
