A Romanian experience of syphilis in pregnancy and childbirth.

CONCLUSIONS: in certain population groups, syphilis is still an important health care problem, especially in vulnerable individuals, such as childbearing women and newborns babies. More attention needs to be paid to primary prevention; the number of cases of congenital syphilis could be reduced by more involvement of midwifes and family doctors in antenatal care.
