title: [System e in acute hepatitis B].
abstract: HBeAg and Ab are investigated by simple radial immunodiffusion in dextrane following Magnius. 14 patients (28%) were HBeAg positive and 2 patients HBeAb positive (4%). HBsAg subtyping was ad in 6 cases and ay in further 5. No relation was found between both determinants and HBeAg. Six of the 10 patients with HBeAg in their sera developed chronic liver disease o fulminant hepatitis, while only 3 of the 21 HBeAg negative controls did so (p less than 0.05). HBeAg is a marker of the evolution of virus B hepatitis.
