Abstract:
It was observed that in 81.5% of 140 cases with liver cirrhosis, the serum was HBVM positive, and the liver biopsy showed characteristic features of CAH. HBsAg could be detected with VB stains in 77.6% of HBVM seropositive cases, 66.7% of HBsAg seronegative cases, and 60.0% of the cases whose serum HBVM had not been examined. There was no significant difference among them statistically. It was our belief that negative serum HBsAg did not rule out the posibility of HBV infection in liver cirrhosis patients. Our observations suggested that there might be a very close relationship between HBV infection and liver cirrhosis in our country, and liver cirrhosis was the outcome of HBV infection. Therefore, in the prevention of liver cirrhosis it should be emphasized that HBV infection should be prevented and CAH well treated.
