Syphillis in pregnancy
Diagnosis in pregnancy is similar to diagnosis in the non-pregnant.
Treatment in pregnancy depends upon the presenting trimester. In the first and second trimesters give single dose benzathine penicillin. In the third trimester give two doses of benzathine penicillin one week apart.
