According to the Federal Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, medical authorities reported the births of 4,322 babies with syphilis last year, 3,272 in 1990, and 1,807 in 1989. In the early 1980's, there were fewer than 200 cases recorded annually nationwide... "The overriding issue is that although every obstetrician is required to take blood to check whether the pregnant woman has syphilis, 60 percent of the mothers who have babies with syphilis have had no prenatal care," said Steven Rubin, acting director of the New York City Health Department's bureau of sexually transmitted disease control. "That's what we need to change."
