title: [Syphilis diagnosed by antenatal screening].
abstract: Because of an increasing incidence of syphilis in Denmark, antenatal screening was re-introduced in 2010. We present two cases of latent syphilis diagnosed by antenatal screening alone. Neither of the two women recalled any previous symptoms of the disease. After treatment, both women gave birth to healthy children.
