Congenital syphilis: old disease, new resurgence.

Abstract
The resurgence of syphilis has a detrimental effect on the health of communities and populations. As this epidemic continues, pediatric nurse practitioners may care for children with congenital syphilis. Children with congenital syphilis are at increased risk for physical abnormalities and developmental delays. Frequent physical and developmental assessments with goal-oriented plans will assist the child and family to achieve their maximum potential. Pediatric nurse practitioners who are knowledgeable about congenital syphilis, its manifestations, and associated nursing care needs will serve as case managers for children and their families with this diagnosis.
