Abstract

Four infants potentially exposed to syphilis infection in utero, meeting World Health Organization surveillance criteria of congenital syphilis (CS), were diagnosed in Croatia between September 2020 and January 2024. We conducted a retrospective analysis of epidemiological, clinical and laboratory data of these cases to assess compliance with surveillance case definitions. As only one confirmed CS case has been reported in Croatia in over 2 decades, these reports signal an increased risk of syphilis vertical transmission and warrant strengthening antenatal screening.

2020 年至 2024 年克罗地亚梅毒垂直传播风险的增加令人担忧。

2020年9月至2024年1月期间，克罗地亚确诊了4名可能在子宫内感染梅毒的婴儿，他们符合世界卫生组织的先天性梅毒（CS）监测标准。我们对这些病例的流行病学、临床和实验室数据进行了回顾性分析，以评估是否符合监测病例的定义。由于克罗地亚二十多年来仅报告过一例确诊的先天梅毒病例，这些报告表明梅毒垂直传播的风险增加，因此有必要加强产前筛查。
