| Popis: | Summary A placental weight-birth weight graph based on 13601 births was constructed. A group of 74 infants with congenital syphilis was then plotted on the centiles. The placentae in congenital syphilis were significantly heavier than expected for infant weight. The routine use of placental weight-birth weight graphs is advocated, especially in infants who are underweight for gestational age and in areas where syphilis is prevalent. |
