Abstrakt: The placentas of eight infants with congenital syphilis were examined by both immunohistochemical and immunofluorescent techniques. Significant IgM, C3 and rheumatoid factor reactivity were observed in all the syphilitic placentas. We postulate that their presence plays an important role in the evolution of the pathological changes.
