Liver involvement is a known feature of secondary syphilis. The prevalence of hepatitis in secondary syphilis ranges broadly from 1 to 50%. We report a case of a 37-year-old man with type 1 diabetes mellitus and sickle cell trait presenting with jaundice and acute liver cholestasis. Abdominal ultrasound revealed mild hepatic fatty infiltration. RPR and Treponema pallidum IgG results were positive with a reflex titer of 1:64. Liver biopsy revealed chronic hepatitis with normal hepatic architecture, Kupffer cell hyperplasia, hepatic cholestasis, and ductal proliferation suggestive of syphilitic hepatitis.
肝脏受累是二期梅毒的一个已知特征。二期梅毒中肝炎的患病率范围广泛,从1%到50%不等。我们报告一例37岁男性病例,该患者患有1型糖尿病和镰状细胞性状,表现为黄疸和急性肝内胆汁淤积。腹部超声显示轻度肝脏脂肪浸润。快速血浆反应素试验(RPR)和梅毒螺旋体IgG结果呈阳性,滴度为1:64。肝活检显示为慢性肝炎,肝结构正常,库普弗细胞增生,肝内胆汁淤积以及导管增生,提示为梅毒性肝炎。
