Penicillin Boon to Babies Born of Disease

By Herman N. Bundescn, M. O. SYPHILIS Is a terrible disease even In an adult Its effects on « baby, infected before birth, are pitiable Many of ttioef syphilitic children die In infancy or early childhood If they live, they may be subject to a variety of disorder* ranging from mental deficiency and physical deformity to impaired hearing and sight. Thercfon It is good news Indeed that modem medical science seems to have found away of averting this doom for the unborn child of the syphilitic mother. Once again we have the wonderworker penicillin to thank. Older Methods With older methods soon babies whose mothers contracted sy ph ills before their birth could be saved, particularly when treatment was started early in pregnancy. that is. by the third or fourth month. Now we bavc found in the Chicago Health Department, treatment center that even la>p in pregnancy, that is, during the last month or two. syphillla may be prevented in the child. If the right kind of treatment Is thoroughly tarried out, the baby will be born well and strong. Also working In Baltimore. Drs. Mary Stewart Goodwin and Jo►eph Earle Moore, treated 57 pregnant women with early syphilis, laing penicillin. Their results too

After treatment I* completed, blood testa should be made on the mother at least once a month until the baby I* delivered. A second course of treatment with penicillin should be carried out If there is any evidence that the dl*ea*e ha* recurred. Following birth the baby should be examined at regular intervals for a minimum of three months and bhaal tests made ho that if the disease occurs in the baby it muy Im- promptly treated. These results in the prevention of syphilis in babies are superior to any which have heretofore been attained by any method of treatment.
