Skeletal Scintigraphy in Congenital Syphilis

摘要

Two infants with congenital syphilis are described. Both had bone scans, the one showing significant changes in a focal lesion, while the other was unremarkable. Radiographic changes were evident at the time of the scan in the second infant, but only became apparent later in the first case. The possible cause for this discrepancy is discussed.
