  • Title: Syphilitic hepatitis.
    Author: Tiliakos N, Shamma'a JM, Nasrallah SM.
    Journal: Am J Gastroenterol; 1980 Jan; 73(1):60-1. PubMed ID: 7377174.
    Abstract:
    Liver involvement in syphilis varies with the stage of the disease. The presence of fibrosis, gumma and hepar lobatum are well described in patients with late and congenital symphilis. On the other hand since Hahn's review of 1943, only eight cases with secondary syphilis have been described in the literature. With the new acceptance of aberrant sexual practice there has been an increase in the prevalence of venereal diseases and emergence of new syndromes related to homosexuality. This case report illustrates one of the manifestations of syphilis that may be easily confused with other causes of jaundice.
