This photograph depicts a frontal view of an infant’s face, highlighting a foamy nasal discharge associated with “snuffles,” a characteristic manifestation of early congenital syphilis caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. The nasal secretions can contain large numbers of T. pallidum organisms and are considered highly infectious.
