Three undoubted cases of benign hepatitis of early syphilis and 1 probable one are presented from the United States Public Health Service Venereal Disease Clinic, Hot Springs, Ark., because such cases are rare. Three of the patients had secondary syphilitic lesions of the skin or mucous membranes, and 1 had a primary lesion.
