Congenital Syphilis and the Prozone Phenomenon: Case Report
We present a case of congenital syphilis in a 3-month-old infant whose mother had prenatal care and negative tests for syphilis, which contributed to the late diagnosis. In the face of clinical findings suggestive of congenital syphilis and negative maternal syphilis tests healthcare providers should consider the possibility of maternal false negative test caused by the prozone phenomenon.

Titerphilia - The Irresistible Urge to Measure Postimmunization Antibody Values
Some physicians and parents request to measure antimeasles serum IgG antibodies after measles-mumps-rubella (MMR) vaccination. Often, vaccine skeptical parents want to know if their child is “immune” after the first dose to avoid the second dose. In the usual healthy child, this should be discouraged for the following reasons. Commercially available antibody assays do not measure functional (neutralizing) antibodies. They cannot reliably measure immunity against measles and were designed to measure naturally acquired antibodies rather than those induced by vaccination. Furthermore, MMR also includes mumps and rubella v...
