    Zia has Syphilis.

    Explanation:

    Congenital syphilis may be acquired by the unborn baby from the mother via vertical transmission. The early and late signs and symptoms of congenital syphilis are the following:

    Early symptoms Prematurity Enlarged liver and spleen (Hepatosplenomegaly) Skeletal abnormalities Pneumonia Pemphigus syphiliticus (skin disease) Late symptoms Frontal bossing (prominent brow ridge) interstitial keratitis (inflammation of cornea) Saddle nose (bony part is destroyed) Deafness (cranial nerve 8 disease) Hutchinson's teeth (blunted upper incisor teeth) Hard palate defect Protruding mandible Saber shins Swollen knees

    Treatment of Syphilis

    Aqueous crystalline penicillin G 100,000-150,000 units/kg/day, administered as 50,000 units/kg/dose IV every 12 hours during the first 7 days of life and every 8 hours thereafter for a total of 10 days.

    OR

    Procaine penicillin G 50,000 units/kg/dose IM in a single daily dose for 10 days

    Getting a syphilis test at your first prenatal visit can prevent health complications for both mother and infant.
