Sífilis congénita

Nombres alternativos:

Lúes congénita; Sífilis fetal

Prevención:

Las prácticas sexuales seguras pueden ayudar a evitar la infección con sífilis. En caso de que la persona sospeche que tiene una enfermedad de transmisión sexual como la sífilis, debe buscar asistencia médica de inmediato para evitar complicaciones como infectar el feto durante el embarazo o en el momento de nacer.

Los cuidados prenatales de las futuras madres son esenciales. Durante las evaluaciones del cuidado prenatal, se hace un examen serológico rutinario para sífilis con el fin de identificar a las madres infectadas y poder tratarlas para minimizar los riesgos para el bebé y para ellas mismas.
