Abstract
Specific histological alterations have been observed in 23 of the 25 patients with early syphilis with laboratory findings suggesting liver damage. Treponema has been detected in the areas of liver lesion in 70 per cent of the patients. Control examination carried out after penicillin therapy showed regression of the alterations. On the basis of the findings authors assert that treponema might induce hepatitis in early syphilis differing from liver damage of other origin.
