Introduction: Congenital Syphilis (CS) is caused by the vertical transmission of Treponema pallidum during pregnancy. Here, we describe a case of CS, diagnosed solely by serological tests. Conclusions: It can be concluded that detailed history-taking and serological tests play a vital role in establishing the diagnosis of CS, particularly in patients with asymptomatic congenital syphilis. An early diagnosis of CS can guide clinicians to initiate a standardized treatment and improve patient outcomes.
