Abstract: A reporting form for congenital syphilis (CDC Form 73.126) was initiated in 1983 to improve detection, case management, and treatment of congenital syphilis cases. The CDC continues to gather and report information on congenital syphilis morbidity as part of its ongoing Sexually Transmitted Disease (STD) surveillance efforts. This request includes numerous variable changes to collect pertinent data and enable appropriate classification of congenital syphilis cases.
