Özet
Although the rate of congenital syphilis is declining in Western Europe and in the USA, a significant increase is observed in the developing countries. In this contribution, a newborn with cutaneous manifestations of congenital syphilis is presented. Conclusion: Pediatricians should be attentive when confronted with vesiculobullous skin lesions in a newborn, and congenital syphilis should be considered in the differential diagnosis.
