Abstract
Syphilis has the potential to result in serious irreversible morbidity and mortality during pregnancy and has been increasing in incidence across the United States. While syphilis is a common disease and a known but rare cause of membranous nephropathy, it can complicate the clinical picture and obscure accurate diagnosis of women presenting with proteinuria during pregnancy. We report a case of proteinuria with syphilis in the second trimester of pregnancy as an educational review.
