Pfizer faces penicillin shortage due to surge in syphilis infections.
What if I told you that a foe from our past is returning, stealthily creeping through medical barricades and significantly affecting newborns? Shocked, right? Well, it's not fiction but reality. And that insidious enemy happens to be congenital syphillis. Is this conversation becoming uncomfortable already? Forgive me then! But isn't it paramount for us to discuss such crucial matters regularly?
"What exactly does congenital syphilis imply?" I hear you asking. Simply put, it gets passed from an infected mother to her unborn child during pregnancy or childbirth. Ouch! That stings more than any mosquito bite ever could.
