On the late prognosis of type A virus hepatitis.
5.2% healings by second intention must be added to the 91.4% healings by first intention. The proportion of patients (1.1%) who could not be followed up for various reasons is but small. In view of the findings of this epidemiologically founded study, it seems justified to conclude that the long-term prognosis of acute type A virus hepatitis may be considered to be favourable since healing occurred in 96.6%.
