 AB    Asymptomatic syphilis eventually manifesting with symptoms of the
       secondary disease was observed in a male with HIV-infection. Large
       focuses of alopecia reported in this male are suggested as a clinical
       marker of HIV-infection. A defective antibody response to T. pallidum in
       HIV-infection has been confirmed. Levomycetin (0.5 g 4 times a day in
       5-20-day courses at two-week intervals) proved highly effective as
       compared to penicillin, erythromycin and tetracycline administration due
       to poor tolerance of the above antibiotics.
