title: A Brief Resolved Unexplained Event and Congenital Neurosyphilis.
abstract: Brief resolved unexplained event (BRUE) is a common pediatric problem that presents to ambulatory and emergency settings. Infants presenting with a BRUE can be separated into low- and high-risk groups per recent guidelines. Most low-risk infants who present with a BRUE can be discharged home with anticipatory guidance and education provided to the caregivers; however, high-risk infants should undergo further testing and observation to determine the cause of their event. Congenital neurosyphilis can be a rare cause of a BRUE. Therefore, high-risk infants with a BRUE should have evaluations focused on potential diagnosis supported by the patient's history and physical examination. [Pediatr Ann. 2017;46(2):e61-e64.].
