The diagnosis of congenital syphilis, while very easy in well-defined cases, can often be quite difficult. Lesser thinks that in half the cases congenital syphilis in the first year of life may not manifest itself at all. Further cases have been described in which it did not manifest itself with fatal symptoms until 2-3 decades after birth; such are the cases of Noble and Remanowsky, as well as Schaffer and others.
