    Abstract:
    Two patients are presented as cases of secondary syphilitic hepatitis. Clinical and biological signs coincided with usual description of this affection. Syphilitic serological tests were all very positive. These two patients were homosexual men. In one case, we have found treponema in hepatic biopsy, underelectron microscope only, which confirmed the diagnosis. Evolution of both patients was improved by anti-syphilitic penicillin the rapy. Thus, this is an important diagnosis, which should not missed, because of the good prognosis of this affection with specific treatment, and because of the increasing frequency of syphilis for 20 years.
