[Congenital syphilis, malnutrition and Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia].
A Korean child aged six months with congenital syphilis and malnutrition developed pneumocystis carinii pneumonia. He recovered after treatment with trimethoprin/sulphamethoxazole with assisted ventilation. There was no evidence of immune deficiency. The role of congenital syphilis and malnutrition predisposing the baby to this infection is discussed.
