ACUTE VIRAL HEPATITIS С

P. Manolov, D. Radkova

Abstract

Thirteen patients of different age groups were examined. They presented with clinico-biochemical data about acute viral hepatitis serologically decoded as acute viral hepatitis C. In 9 cases an evidence of inoculative manipulations (in 6 venous drug abusers and in 3 cases after surgical interventions) was established. The course of the disease was not very severe. In one patient it was even slight. There was a tendency towards a chronic course in 5 cases. In two patients the catamnestic folllowing-up revealed a histological evidence of chronic viral hepatitis C. Interferon therapy was administered.
