A case report of HBV carrier after superimposed acute hepatitis type B upon preexisted chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis.

Acute fulminant non-A, non-B hepatitis leading to chronic active hepatitis after treatment with cryoprecipitate.

This report describes a carrier of haemophilia A who developed fulminant non-A, non-B hepatitis after transfusion with cryoprecipitate. She survived, but developed chronic active hepatitis.

Non-A, non-B hepatitis.

Diagnosis of non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANB) is made after exclusion of other known causes of hepatitis. Parenterally spread non-a, non-B hepatitis (PNANB) and enterally transmitted non-A, non-B hepatitis (ENANB) almost certainly appear to be two different diseases. The definite causative agents have not hitherto been identified. Much of our knowledge of NANB is based on (i) experimental studies ...

non-A, non-B hepatitis

1 Dodecanissou Street, Athens 12351, Greece. Abstract To assess the safety and possible efficacy of recombinant human interferon alfa-2b in preventing the development of chronic hepatitis, 24 adults (eight men, 16 women) with acute non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis were recruited to a pilot study. Half of the cases were parenterally transmitted and half were community acquired. Twelve patients rece...

Non A/non B hepatitis.

The concept that human viral hepatitis was caused by no more than two etiologic agents stemmed from early volunteer studies in which two epidemiologically distinct types of hepatitis were transmitted to humans (1). These experimentally transmitted diseases closely resembled two forms of naturally occurring viral hepatitis that could be distinguished on epidemiologic grounds. One form was highly...
