A Systematic Literature Review of Syphilitic Hepatitis in Adults

摘要

Syphilitic hepatitis in adults is not frequently found in the population and is easily misdiagnosed.The incidence of viral hepatitis is increasing year by year,concomitantly increasing the importance of obtaining a systematic understanding of the clinical features and treatment strategies for this disease.There is,however,a lack of published definitive data regard-ing the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and standard treat-ment options for this disease.Searches were made using the MEDLINE database of PubMed and OVID for syphilitic hep-atitis publications from 1951 to 2017 in an attempt to analyze and summarize the clinical characteristics.
