International Journal of Pediatric Otorhinolaryngology , 05/14/09
Chau J et al. - There have been no reports of children with confirmed congenital SNHL secondary to in utero syphilis infection. Newborns with positive syphilis serology should have hearing screening performed at birth and receive treatment with an appropriate course of penicillin therapy. Longitudinal hearing screening is recommended for all pediatric patients with congenital syphilis, as further studies documenting longitudinal audiometric data for patients previously treated either fully or partly for congenital syphilis are required.
Justin Chau, 05/15/09
Neonatal hearing screening programs have an important role in the early detection and treatment of hearing loss, as the potential impact on an individiual's ability to communicate is significant. Although congenital syphilis is a known cause of sensorineural hearing loss, the incidence and characteristics of this hearing loss is poorly described. This review makes recommendations regarding longitudinal hearing screening for children born with congenital syphilis, given the available literature to date. |
