Hepatitis Syphilitic

Hepatitis and syphilitic infections are diseases caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum, which is transmitted sexually from person to person. This infection is usually called syphilis, which can cause a variety of symptoms, including swollen lymph nodes, rashes on the skin and mucous membranes, and joint pain. In addition, syphilis can lead to various diseases such as hepatitis, cirrhosis of the liver and even cancer.

Hepatitis is an inflammation of the liver that can be caused by a variety of factors, but the most common cause is a viral infection such as HIV. Syphilitic infection can also cause hepatitis, a condition known as syphilitic hepatitis.

Syphilitic hepatitis is manifested mainly by the presence of serum antibodies, which are found in the patient’s blood. In most cases, the disease is asymptomatic, leading to delayed or incorrect diagnosis. Pronounced (characteristic) signs of syphilitic hepatitis appear in at least 5% of cases. The disease usually develops several months after syphilis infection. Exacerbation of the syphilitic process is closely related to the primary manifest defect of the body’s immune system. Noteworthy is the significant difference in the severity, frequency and duration of hemorrhagic syndrome in the case of acute and subacute hematological types of the disease. In the acute type, thrombopenic and thrombotic manifestations become subjectively more pronounced over time, and are suddenly replaced by the development of profuse bleeding from the dilated sinuses, spleen and then from all natural orifices. This acute phase of the disease, characteristic of many authors, contributing to the rapid development of hemorrhage, is noted in mild cases when the patient himself evaluates the typical symptoms as prodromal or
