Patient's question:
Doctor, I'm about to give birth in my pregnancy. The detailed examination showed positive for syphilis antibody, while the rest were negative. They mentioned it's a single positive case, but I don't quite understand. Will the baby inherit it from me? If the baby is positive, can it turn negative?Doctor's answer:
I'm glad to clarify this for you. Syphilis is a disease caused by the transmission of Treponema pallidum. Based on the situation you described, since syphilis caused by Treponema pallidum can now be cured through treatment, there is no need to worry. According to your careful examination, if the Treponema pallidum antibody test is positive and all other tests are negative, it proves that you have recently contracted syphilis. You need further examination and treatment. The above is the advice for the question "Doctor, I'm about to give birth in my pregnancy." I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
