Nubao Xiaoke, born half a month ago, suddenly fever and vomiting. After blood examination, it was confirmed that syphilis had been infected, which was caused by mother to child transmission! It's disgusting that the mother cheated during pregnancy and caused the child to suffer from syphilis! It's pathetic that such a small child has been treated with different eyes since he was born!
The doctor immediately asked Ms. fan about the situation. After several inquiries, Ms. fan hesitated to tell the truth:
When she was two months pregnant, she had a syphilis serum test, which was negative at that time.
Later, the routine pregnancy test was carried out according to the regulations.
At that time, the father was still working outside. When she was six months pregnant, she had sex with her first boyfriend. This may be the cause of syphilis in children.
Later, Ms. fan and Xiao Ke were treated in the hospital for syphilis. It was found that the father of the child was not infected with syphilis.
Experts said that due to the pathological characteristics of syphilis, 90% of syphilis patients will not be negative blood indicators, will be branded for life.
Experts remind
Mother to child transmission was avoidable, and there were two opportunities to block it during pregnancy.
If syphilis positive expectant mothers are found in pregnancy test, the medical institutions will block them to avoid the infection;
Later, if the mother is found infected with syphilis, the treatment is for the baby who may have been infected.
Pregnant mothers with high-risk behaviors can be tested for syphilis once in three months of pregnancy and three months before delivery.
The harm of syphilis
1. Infect others. We all know that syphilis is very infectious, so it is easy to pass on to partners or children, endangering the health of others. Male syphilis patients not only harm their own health, but also can infect their wives and children, resulting in premature delivery, abortion and stillbirth. A small number of live births are also likely to have fetal syphilis.
2. Invasion of central nervous system. After infection with syphilis, if treatment is delayed, Treponema pallidum can cause trigeminal nerve to be affected, meningomyelitis, paralytic dementia, optic atrophy, compression of the spinal cord to cause spasm, paralysis, etc., which seriously endangers human health.
3. Skin damage discomfort. In addition to the above two very common hazards, it will also lead to physical skin discomfort, affecting normal life.
Syphilis patients often complain of discomfort, genital ulcers, pustules, rashes and other uncomfortable symptoms, resulting in more secretions, the formation of fear, affect normal life.
4. Serious damage to bone system. If the treatment of syphilis is delayed, the tissues and organs may be destroyed by Treponema pallidum, thus the corresponding functions of tissues and organs will be lost, leading to human disability or death.
