ABSTRACT
An unusual case of a secondary syphilitic hepatitis in a 14-year-old male youth is presented. Although he had extremely high aspartate and alanine aminotransferase values, improvement was rapid after antibiotic therapy. Histologic examination of the liver performed during convalescence revealed patchy necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration.
