[1 case of chronic active hepatitis].
A female patient is described, aged 18, with chronic active hepatitis post viral hepatitis, that led to exitus lethalis within one year and a half. Besides the numberous icteric periods and symptoms for intrahepatal cholestasis, the disease advanced with joint complaints, cardiac pulmonary and adrenal lesions. HBsAg is absent from blood but the latter was found in the nuclei of hapatic cells via electron microscopy. Diffusive hemorrhages were found in both adrenals as well as cortex thinness, reduction of fascicular zone and reduced lipids in cells. The role of the long-term immunosuppressive therapy with prednisolon and immuran is discussed in the origination of liver, adrenal, cardiac and pulmonary lesions (delayed type medicamentosus supersensitivity).
