Abstract

Beckomberga hospital in Stockholm 1936. A six-year-old boy arrives from  in Stockholm. Very strange, what did a six-year-old boy do in a mental hospital for adults. This smiling cute light-haired boy on the photo in the journal was diagnosed congenital syphilis. A closer look in his papers showed that his mother also was hospitalised with a syphilis diagnosis. Why was the child not in the Lilla Hemmet institute, a natural place for children with hereditary syphilis in the Stockholm of those days, maybe he should be close to his mother while treated? But it was not so (1).
