 AB    From 1980 through 1990, 45 cases of congenital syphilis, i.e.,
       15.5/10,000 births, were reported in French Guyana. Epidemiological and
       clinical characteristics of these cases were analyzed retrospectively.
       Most mothers were immigrants (32%) or members of the traditional Maroni
       community (60%). Congenital infections were often severe (symptomatic in
       85% of cases and fatal in 33%). Treatment should be especially
       aggressive in patients infected with the human immunodeficiency virus.
