ABSTRACT
The alterations of early syphilitic infection occuring in the course of high dosage penicillin (120 mega IU, 36 h) as clinical experimental trial has been studied both from the clinical and the electron microscopical views. By electron microscopical studies, findings revealing the localization and the status of treponemes before and during penicillin treatment could be established. Before treatment started, the majority of treponemes was of intercellular localization. In the course of treatment various forms of destruction could be differentiated. The most striking change in the host tissue after 7-8 h of penicillin therapy was an elimination of treponemes by penetrating phagocytes. 24 h after the beginning of treatment, treponemes could not be demonstrated any more. The clinical and serological findings after the high dosage penicilline will produce results comparable to those of conventional therapie.
