REACTIONS IN THE TREATMENT OF SYPHILIS WITH PENICILLIN

GREAT strides have been made in the treatment of early syphilis with penicillin, and reports seem to bear out the belief that penicillin will be an important factor in the management of syphilis. Because of the dominant position assumed by penicillin in the treatment of syphilis, it is important to consider the reactions that may be encountered in the course of therapy. It has been found convenient to classify these reactions in two groups. The first group of reactions is caused directly by penicillin, and the second group of reactions is due indirectly to penicillin and consists in reactions to the products of destruction of the spirochetes. On review of the literature in the consideration of the first group of reactions, that is, those due directly to penicillin, it is noted that although penicillin has been accepted as the most effective and least toxic chemotherapeutic agent widespread use of this

THE PROBLEM OF INVOLVEMENT OF THE LIVER IN SYPHILIS

Since the introduction of arsphenamine therapy the syphilologist has been confronted constantly with the problem of involvement of the liver. Despite the existing controversy as to the pathogenesis of hepatic complications occurring during treatment, arsenic is without doubt the offending agent in the vast majority of instances. If it were possible to devise a method whereby the earliest phases of syphilitic hepatitis and particularly those of arsphenamine hepatitis could be readily recognized, a distinct advance in the management of syphilis would be accomplished. In this paper an effort is made to create a plan for detecting early hepatic abnormalities caused by arsenic. <h3>SYPHILITIC HEPATITIS</h3> The liver, because of its enormous blood supply, is invaded by countless numbers of organisms during their early dissemination through the vascular system; yet extensive acute parenchymatous hepatitis is rare in early stages of syphilis. Reports in the literature are meager as to pathologic changes in

CRITICAL TREATMENT PROBLEMS IN TODAY'S SYPHILOLOGY

I have selected four topics for this presentation from a field of almost unlimited possibilities. As is my custom, knowing my failings, I apologize at the outset for a certain schoolmasterly didacticism of presentation, which is of the word only, and not inspired by ignorance of the possibilities of error in dogmatic statement. I should like to stimulate thought and create a discussion rather than make final pronouncements on current problems. I shall accordingly consider recent developments in the control of infectiousness by organized and socialized treatment, which is, in essence, the management of early syphilis; the problem of bismuth; the prevention and control of the two most threatening aspects of late syphilis, disease of the heart and of the nervous system; and smoother treatment. THE CONTROL OF SYPHILIS BY TREATMENT OF THE INFECTIOUS One of the disservices which
