B3. NON-A, NON-B 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.

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...

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...

Aplastic Anemia after Non-a, Non-b, Non-c Hepatitis

O ver the past five years second generation assays for hepatitis C virus (HCV) have led to an improvement in its detection. Accordingly, descriptions of hepatitis C-associated aplastic anemia have been reported. However, cases of non-A, non-B, non-C hepatitis associated aplasia have been described recently. Such a fact suggests that a non-A, non-B, non-C agent might be implicated in many cases ...
