Abstract

We present a case of early syphilis in a HIV negative bisexual man after an oral insertive intercourse with clinical overlap of primary and secondary stages, and laboratory and other criteria for syphilitic hepatitis. Moreover, we herein stress the importance of awareness of the high-risk behaviors and report syphilitic hepatitis without jaundice, a usually unrecognized clinical condition, emphasizing the clinical and therapeutic importance of its occurrence among syphilitic cases.
