About this listen

You might not be used to hearing "babies" and "syphilis" in the same sentence. But if you're trying to conceive, expecting, or have a young child, it should be on your radar. Because if a parent has syphilis, they can pass it along to their kid. And the number of cases in kids is on the rise. So why are we still struggling with a curable disease? And how do you know if you or your child is at risk?

On this episode of Mayo Clinic Kids, we talk with OBGYN Dr. Yvonne Butler Tobah about congential syphilis, testing and all those questions you don't want in your Google search history.
