The authors analyze the findings of clinical and serological follow-up of 370 patients with secondary relapsing and early latent syphilis treated with a new rapid method. This method consists in intramuscular injections of water-soluble penicillin in high daily doses (4,000,000, 6,000,000, 8,000,000 U) made for 3-4 weeks. The follow-up period of 1-6 years has confirmed a high therapeutic efficacy of this method.
