title: Congenital syphilis.
abstract: The most outstanding aspects of congenital or fetal syphilis, emphasizing its epidemiology, clinical aspects, diagnosis, prevention and treatment, are studied. The authors point out the increasing frequency of this treponematosis, which should still be considered as a worldwide endemic disease, though it is foreseeable and tractable. Some new data about the problem are provided, apropos of recent observations.
