How will my doctor know if my baby has Congenital Syphilis (CS)?
Your doctor must consider several factors to determine if your baby has Congenital Syphilis (CS). These factors will include the results of your syphilis blood test and, if you were diagnosed with syphilis, whether you received treatment for syphilis during your pregnancy. Your doctor may also want to test your baby’s blood, perform a physical exam of your baby, or do other tests, such as a spinal tap or an x-ray, to determine if your baby has CS.
