Default Mississippi battles 900% increase in babies born with syphilis

Mississippi battles 900% increase in babies born with syphilis

Feb 14, 2023

Mississippi is leading the country in syphilis cases, resulting in a tragic uptick of newborns risking death from the disease across the state.

Mississippi has had a more than 900% increase in babies born with syphilis – a sexually transmitted disease that is also passed to an infant during pregnancy – in six years ending in 2021. Syphilis can cause miscarriages and death. Surviving children born with the disease can have major malformations and life-long complications.
