Tertiary syphilis
Syphilis of the foetus
The affection of the foetus by
syphilis is revealed on the 5th month of intrauterine life and is linked with the development of placenta blood circulation. Specific affections of the internal organs of the foetus are mainly of diffuse inflam-matory character. The liver, spleen, the lungs and kidneys are the first to be damaged because of their early development. The liver enlarges, mass correlation of liver and body becomes 1:15-1:14, normally 1:21, histologically: minor cell infiltration, desquamation of the alveolar epithelium, growth of fibrous tissues in the interalveolar spaces. Such changes in the lungs usually do not combine with life-pneumonia alba. A syphilitic child has a characte-ristic look: wrinkled and flabby - “A small old man”, the pallor of skin tissues with a grey hue is macerated, turgor of skin tissues is reduced, which leads to the formation of wrinkles, insufficient development of hypodermic cellulose, it looks like hypertrophia, usually the child is flabby, or extremely excited due to the increase of the blood skull pressure.
