Syphilitic gastropathy.

A case study of a 22-year-old male with periumbilical, postprandial pain, partially relieved by antacids is presented. Abnormalities demonstrated on upper-gastrointestinal series and a positive FTA-ABS suggested gastric lues. This diagnosis was confirmed by demonstrating spirochetes in gastric mucosa, both by silver impregnation and fluorescent techniques specific for Treponema pallidum.
