Chronic liver disease after acute non-A non-B viral hepatitis

The frequency of non-A, non-B hepatitis in acute and chronic liver disease.

Serological markers were used to determine the infective agents causing acute viral hepatitis in 246 patients. The frequencies of the five viral infections investigated were: non-A, non-B hepatitis 99 patients (40.2%); hepatitis A 98 patients (39.8%); hepatitis B 43 patients (17.5%); cytomegalovirus » 4 patients (1.6%); and EpsteinBarr virus 2 patients (0.8%).

Relationship between hepatitis B DNA Viral load in the liver and it\'s histology in patient with chronic hepatitis B

Background: Serial measurement of  hepatitis B virus (HBV) DNA levels in the liver and its relation with liver damage and serum HBV DNA levels are guide to begin and/or end a treatment course.

Transient pancytopenia after non-A non-B non-C acute hepatitis preceding acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Transient pancytopenia preceding childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is an unfrequent but well-known event. The association of this preleukemic syndrome with hepatitis is extremely rare, with only two such cases having been published in the literature. We report the case of a 16-year-old boy who was diagnosed with B-cell type ALL that was preceded by transient pancytopenia with absent ...
