Sexually transmitted diseases in neonates and infants

P Treadwell. Semin Dermatol. 1994 Dec.

Abstract

With the current resurgence of sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), familiarity with the clinical manifestations of STDs in neonates and infants is essential to minimize the tragic consequences. The recognized routes of transmission of the diseases include transplacental, intrapartum, and postpartum exposure. This discussion will be confined to infections caused by syphilis, herpes simplex virus, human papillomavirus, gonorrhea, and chlamydia emphasizing clinical aspects in this population.
