 AB    Pneumonitis and symptomatic hepatitis are very rare complications of
       syphilis. Symptomatic hepatitis and subclinical reticulonodular
       pulmonary infiltrates were observed when an HIV-infected patient
       presented with secondary syphilis. The Jarisch-Herxheimer reaction
       included a flare of hepatitis symptoms, resembling cholangitis. In a
       patient with syphilis, it may be appropriate to delay an aggressive
       evaluation for suspected pneumonitis or cholangitis pending the outcome
       of specific antitreponemal therapy.
