Syphilis and pregnancy?

Question

if a person has syphilis and while getting treated gets pregant. What will happen to the baby?

Answer 1

If untreated, syphilis during pregnancy crosses the placenta and infects the fetus, which may result in premature delivery, stillbirth, or congenital syphilis. The effects of the latter on the fetus may include blindness, deafness, bone disease, and other birth defects.

The disease can be diagnosed during the primary stage by a test of the ulcer, and during the other stages by one of several blood tests. A blood test for syphilis is required when obtaining a marriage license and is also recommended during early pregnancy. In high-risk patients, the test should be done before conception and then repeated toward the end of pregnancy.

Treatment by penicillin usually leads to favorable outcomes at any stage, but careful follow-up with monthly blood tests is advised to assure success. Women who are allergic to penicillin need to be "densensitized" -- similar to allergy shots -- and then treated with penicillin.

Answer 2

Look- I already gave you a complete reply. There is an overly, very, VERY top risk that your little one can have congenital syphalis. You have got to speak for your healthcare professional, now not Yahoo Answers.

Answer 3

Not sure.... I was wondering the same thing about HIV... I know that it is possible for the baby to be healthy but the drugs can be dangerous for the baby...

I think it might work out ok with the right medical attention.
I'm sure there are online articles to this effect....
Just do a browser search for

The answer above mine seems good....

Answer 4

Good God first off I would hope that someone wouldn't be such a skank to have a horrible STD, and then go and get their asses knocked up. I love that my tax money goes to people like you. Taking drugs while pregnant most anyway, run some sort of risk for the baby, but the doctor should be able to tell you which do and don't. Secondly after you get rid of the Syphyllis and have the baby, do every tax paying American a favor and keep a nickel between your knees so that we can keep more than just a nickel in our wallets!

Chikungunya Virus Cure

*One study found that tannic acid from nutgall apparantly binds to Chikungunya and inhibits the virus. Sources of Tannic Acid: Nutgall, Tea, Nettle, Wood, Berries, Chinese galls. Oak wood is very rich in tannic acid. Oak leaves were also mentioned. Take an iron supplement if using foods with high amounts of tannic acid.

Chikungunya is a virus spread by mosquitoes. It is not normally a serious health issue as it only lasts for 3-7 days. The best prevention is to keep the immune system healthy and taking proper precautions to avoid infection. There are several things one can do to prevent bites from mosquitoes and there are ways to relieve body aches and deydration that might come if infected.

The symptoms of chikungunya include fever which can reach 39°C, (102.2 °F) a petechial or maculopapular rash usually involving the limbs and trunk, and arthralgia or arthritis affecting multiple joints which can be debilitating. There can also be headache, conjunctival injection and slight photophobia.

The mosquito species that transmits the Chikungunya virus is the Aedes albopictus, commonly known as the Asian tiger mosquito or forest mosquito. There being no vaccine or preventive drug for chikungunya at present, the best way to avoid the infection is to control the mosquito population in the region and prevent mosquito bites.

Last year, several members of the Iowa State University Department of Entomology presented the results of a study on common catnip. Among their conclusions was the fact that an essential oil in catnip is 10 times more effective at repelling mosquitoes than potent chemicals such as DEET.

There are many ways to cure and prevent chikungunya. It takes being conscious of what is causing the problem, eliminating risks, and watching one's diet and hygiene;

*Eat a healthy diet with mostly raw vegetables and most fruits

*Avoid bannanas, chocolates, yogurt as they attract mosquitoes

*Wear long pants and socks with closed shoes during mosquito season

* Vitamin B Complex will help prevent bites

* Avoid dairy as dairy plugs up the elimination system

* Bathe with unscented soap and shampoo to avoid attracting mosquitoes

* Avoid wheat products if the virus infection is coming on

*Use catnip, rosemary, and neem oil to spray on exposed areas of skin (I would add lavender for aroma improvement)
*Make a bath with the above essential oils

*Avoid going out of doors during the greatest risk times at dusk and dawn, or at least cover the legs, arms, and feet during the early moring and evening

*Avoid sugary drinks and alcohol

*Eliminate standing water in your area(put a few drops of neem oil or catnip oil in pools of water to prevent eggs from hatching)

*Eliminating table salt and adding sea salt to salt foods will mineralize the body and improve toxin elimination threrefore improvie the immune response

*Drinking 6-8 glasses of clean water every day will clear the elimination system and help prevent or eliminate the virus more efficiently if infected

* I would also add one drop of wild oregano oil to a shot glass of carrot juice or some other strong juice if I was fully infected,

*Amp up on Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and try Golden Seal if infected

*Drink green tea for relief

*I would also drink unsweetened fruit juice or vegetable juice with
a teaspoon of raw apple cider vinegar with a dash of cayenne, turmeric, and cinamon to provide good flora and PH balance to speed up recovery.

*MSM or Glucosamine are supplements that could help with body aches.

*If you have access to the herb Boneset herb also called comfrey, knitbone, Snake Root, and blackwort, it is a very good anti-inflamatory and excellent for body aches

Vaccines are deadly to many people. I would take my chances with Chikungunya and the fever and body aches before I put a possibly deadly vaccine in my body.


Best of health to you.
