Abstract A retrospective review of 766,742 hospital admissions was performed between 1966 and 1986 at the University of Iowa Hospital for the diagnosis of congenital syphilis. Although 88 individuals were identified with this diagnosis, adequate treatment was documented in only 33 (38%). Thirty-nine of the 88 individuals identified were initially seen for visual complaints by the ophthalmology department. We recommend that all physicians increase their index of suspicion for this disease, and institute appropriate therapy and follow-up if late congenital syphilis is diagnosed.
