[Chronic persistent hepatitis. Histological and clinical study of different forms of the course of CPH].
Among 4903 liver biopsies were found 96 cases (241 biopsies) of non-active hepatitis persisting for longer than one year (up to 12 years). Three forms of the course of chronic persistent hepatitis could be delimited in morphological terms taking into account clinical laparoscopic and clinical chemical data. The type Ia presents the picture of a largely subsided, lobular accentuated acute virus hepatitis. The type Ib corresponds to a chronic inflammation with emphasis on the portal system without destruction of the limiting plate, without fibrosis and with only slight intralobular involvement. The type Ic is characterized by a portal and slight septal fibrosis with round-cell infiltrates and a slight facultative periportally active inflammation as well as a moderate intralobular mesenchyme reaction. The typing permits a clear subdivision and a differentiated prognosis: 10% of the cases of type Ic pass into an active chronic hepatitis of the type IIa.
