Abstract:
A case of type C chronic hepatitis with depressive states probably induced by interferon treatment is reported. Some other Japanese cases of type B or C chronic hepatitis with psychotic symptoms induced by interferon treatment were also reviewed. The state of symptoms, the time of onset, the course of development, dosage, many factors (endogenous, exogenous, psychogenic), predictability, and so on were examined.
