A This rash is not an indication that the neonate has contracted gonorrhea. The
neonate with gonorrheal infection might present with septicemia, meningitis,
conjunctivitis and scalp abscesses.
B Infants affected with HSV will display growth restriction, skin lesions,
microcephaly, hypertonicity and seizures.
C This rash is indicative of congenital syphilis. The lesions may extend over the
trunk and extremities.
D Typically the HIV infected neonate is asymptomatic at birth. Most often the
infant will develop an opportunistic infection and rapid progression of
immunodeficiency.
