“…Treponemae were demonstrated in the DISCUSSION Clinical manifestations of congenital syphilis are infrequent before the third week of life (10). When obvious at birth, the prognosis is usually poor (1). This seems to be borne out in this series as 5 of the infants died.…”

“…It is therefore not surprising that congenital syphilis is again becoming more frequent. Congenital syphilis has different forms of presentation; the severe form presenting at birth is rare (7) and denotes a grave prognosis (1). It is the purpose of this paper to present an analysis of ten oonsecutive cases of early congenital syphilis diagnosed at birth at the Kandang Kerbau Hospital, Singapore, and to emphasize a feature that has usually been overlooked, or only received very little attention in the past.…”

SUMMARY Ten infants with early congenital syphilis are presented. Hepatosplenomegaly is a marked feature in all the infants. The majority of them were of low birth weight. Syphilitic pemphigus was present in 5, and hydrops fe talis in 4. Five infants survived, including one witn hydrops fetalis. Early diagnosis and intensive therapy are necessary for survival. A high index of swpicion is required for early and more frequent diagnosis of this condition.

“…As deficiências no sistema de atenção à saúde da gestante, como início tardio do pré-natal, falta de prescrição adequada do antibiótico (24º e 28º semana de gestação) e dificuldade de adesão ao tratamento (gestante e parceiros), potencialmente também contribuíram com o crescimento destas internações [36][37][38] .…”

Resumo Este estudo teve o objetivo de descrever as causas e as tendências de Internações por Condições Sensíveis à Atenção Primária (ICSAP) em menores de um ano, entre 2008 e 2014, no estado de São Paulo, Brasil. Trata-se de um delineamento ecológico, baseado em dados secundários do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares. Classificaram-se as internações segundo o diagnóstico principal e a Lista Brasileira de ICSAP, considerando as seguintes faixas etárias: Neonatais precoce, Neonatal tardia e Pós-neonatal. Para a análise de tendência das internações foram ajustados modelos de regressão linear. Ocorreram 851.713 internações de Menores de um ano, sendo 22,6% por ICSAP. As principais reduções das frequências de internação foram: Pneumonias bacterianas (-7,10%) e Desvios nutricionais (-7,70) em Neonatal precoce. As elevações foram: Doenças relacionadas ao pré-natal e parto (+10,14%) e Doenças imunizáveis e condições evitáveis em Pós-neonatal (+14,13%), com destaque para coqueluche e sífilis congênita. Os resultados mostram uma deficiência no cuidado à saúde infantil na atenção primária no estado de São Paulo, enquanto que as tendências de internações estimadas podem auxiliar no planejamento de estratégias para diminuir os agravos e os gastos no setor terciário de atenção em saúde.

“…2 7 , 2 9 3 0 Transmission in utero occurs only after the fourth gestational month 2 7 as demonstrated by the fact that spirochetes cannot be found in fetal tissue prior to 18 weeks of intrauterine life. 31 Adequate treatment of pregnant women before 16 weeks gestation has been shown to prevent congenital syphilis. Treatment beyond the 18th gestational week can be effective, but may not prevent osseous stigmata, neural deafness, Glutton's joints, or interstitial keratitis.…”

In vitro fertilization and embryo transfer (IVF-ET) is a process in which human ova are obtained by laparoscopic ovarian follicular puncture, fertilized in vitro by capacitated donor sperm, and introduced transcervically into the uterus. The prospective mother's ovarian cycle is usually stimulated with either clomiphene citrate, human menopausal gonadotropin, or both, so that multiple aspiratable follicles are produced. Follicular development is monitored by ultrasound and by serial serum or urine estrogen determinations. When adequate follicular development has been achieved, a pre-ovulatory dose of human chorionic gonadotropin is administered.
