title: [Liver involvement in early secondary syphilis].
abstract: Two patients with secondary new syphilis are described, abusing alcohol, developing early syphilitic hepatitis. The manifestations of this condition are similar to those of viral hepatitis. This necessitates a thorough examination of the skin integument, visible mucosae, genitals and perianal area, and of the peripheral lymph nodes in the patients with suspected viral hepatitis, in order to timely detect a possible liver involvement in Treponema infection. When such patients consult a doctor, specific serologic tests should be carried out and case history be carefully recorded.
