Examples of congenital syphilis in the following topics:
-
- The primary route of transmission is through sexual contact; it may also be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy or at birth, resulting in congenital syphilis.
- Late latent syphilis is asymptomatic, and not as contagious as early latent syphilis.
- Patient with tertiary (gummatous) syphilis.
- People with tertiary syphilis are not infectious.
- It is the causative agent of syphilis.
-
- In an infant, it may be a symptom of congenital syphilis.
-
- Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection (STI) caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum.
- Latent syphilis displays little to no symptoms, and neurosyphilis (tertiary) can result in neurological and cardiac symptoms because the syphilis has been undiagnosed or untreated for many years.
- Neurosyphilis occurs when syphilis is left untreated from many years.
- Dermatologic manifestations are the hallmark of secondary syphilis.
- It is the causative agent of syphilis.
-
- A congenital disorder, or congenital disease, is a condition existing at birth and often before birth, or that develops during the first month of life (neonatal disease) regardless of causation.
- Congenital disorders vary widely in causation and abnormalities.
- Much of the language used for describing congenital conditions predates genomic mapping, and structural conditions are often considered separately from other congenital conditions.
- Several terms are used to describe congenital abnormalities.
- A congenital physical anomaly is an abnormality of the structure of a body part.
-
- A congenital heart defect is a defect in the structure of the heart and great vessels that is present at birth.
- Approximately nine people in 1,000 are born with a congenital heart defect.
- Small chromosomal abnormalities also frequently lead to congenital heart disease.
- There are more than 1.8 million adults living with congenital heart defects.
- Changes in heart sounds can indicate specific congenital defects in heart valves and chambers.
-
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia refers to an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutated genes for enzymes that produce cortisol from cholesterol.
- Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) refers to any of several autosomal recessive diseases resulting from mutations of genes for enzymes mediating the biochemical steps of production of cortisol from cholesterol by the adrenal glands (steroidogenesis).
- The defects causing adrenal hyperplasia are congenital (i.e., present at birth).
- In all its forms, congenital adrenal hyperplasia due to 21-hydroxylase deficiency accounts for about 95% of diagnosed cases of CAH.
-
- Albinism is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes.
- Albinism is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes due to he absence of or defect in an enzyme involved in the production of melanin .
-
- Spina bifida is a developmental congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube.
- Spina bifida (Latin: "split spine") is a developmental congenital disorder caused by the incomplete closing of the embryonic neural tube.
-
- Cleft lip and cleft palate are variations of a type of clefting congenital deformity caused by abnormal facial development during gestation.
- Cleft lip and cleft palate, which can also occur individually or together, are variations of a type of clefting congenital deformity caused by abnormal facial development during gestation .
-
- Valve problems may be congenital (inborn) or acquired (due to another cause later in life).
- Heart valve dysplasia is an error in the development of any of the heart valves, and a common cause of congenital heart defects in humans as well as animals; tetralogy of Fallot is a congenital heart defect with four abnormalities, one of which is stenosis of the pulmonary valve.
