Rapid progression to gummatous syphilitic hepatitis and neurosyphilis in a patient with newly-diagnosed HIV
Int J STD AIDS.

Abstract
We review the literature on hepatic involvement in patients with HIV and syphilis co-infection and describe a case of rapid progression to neurosyphilis and presumed gummatous syphilitic hepatitis in a patient newly diagnosed with HIV. To our knowledge, this is the first case of syphilitic hepatitis with gummas described in the HIV population.
Keywords: AIDS; Gumma; HIV; Treponema pallidum; neurosyphilis; sexually transmitted infection; syphilis; syphilitic hepatitis.
