    Abstract:
    Syphilis is a chronic systemic infection mainly transmitted through sexual contact that shows a great variety of clinical manifestations. Liver involvement is an unusual complication mainly reported in HIV patients. In this case report we present a case of a 42-year-old immunocompent man with acute cholestatic hepatitis who was finally diagnosed of luetic hepatitis. Liver disease was the only manifestation of syphilis infection difficulty it’s diagnostic. We emphasize the importance of including syphilis in the differential diagnosis of abnormal liver function tests in patients at risk of sexually transmitted diseases due to its resolution with appropriate antibiotic treatment.
