SAN DIEGO, April 23, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- QuidelOrtho Corporation (Nasdaq: QDEL), a global leader of in vitro diagnostics, has released episode 57 of its Science Bytes podcast, focusing on evolving syphilis trends in the United States and the rise of congenital syphilis cases despite declines in early-stage infections.
Hosted by Josh Casey, the episode features Andrea Ott‑Vasconi, Director of Scientific Affairs and Regulatory at QuidelOrtho, who breaks down what CDC data reveals, why congenital syphilis continues to rise and how diagnostic strategies and healthcare workflows can close critical screening gaps, especially during pregnancy.
While provisional data show a second consecutive year of decline in primary and secondary syphilis cases, congenital syphilis cases reached nearly 4,000 in 2024. Because congenital syphilis is completely preventable with timely diagnosis and treatment during pregnancy, the episode highlights missed screening opportunities and actionable steps health systems can take now.
