Typical symptom triad for syphilis connata tarda: keratitis parenchymatosa, labyrinthine deafness, Hutchinson's teeth.

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

At the age of 21, Jonathan Hutchinson worked as a medical assistant at St. Bartholomew Hospital. There he observed 2 children with keratitis and dental changes. The dental changes are common as Hutchinson's or barrel teeth. Hutchinson published his observations in 1858 under the name "chronic interstitial keratitis". In 1861 deafness was also described in this context. Hutchinson summarized keratitis, tooth deformity and deafness as a triad for the diagnosis of congenital syphilis.
