A Case of Syphilitic Hepatitis in an HIV-Infected Patient
We present a case of a 51-year-old homosexual, HIV-positive male who presented with acute cholestatic hepatitis with a predominantly elevated alkaline phosphatase. After lab studies and imaging were unrevealing, a liver biopsy was performed that showed expanded portal tracts with a predominantly lymphoplasmacytic infiltrate and prominent bile ductular proliferation with periductal neutrophils.
