title: [Spontaneous immuno-adherence in viral hepatitis].
abstract: Sera from patients with hepatitis, according to clinical and biochemical data, often give a spontaneous immune adherence (S.I.A.) with O human red blood cells. In 58% of the cases the test is positive and is associated with Australia (HBs) antigen in 6.7 to 9.5% of the patients. The titer cas reach 1/8192 and seems to follow the clinical evolution. S.I.A. also occurs at low titre (less than or equal to 1/32) in 18 to 30% of the cirrhosis tested, in 17 to 22% of various diseases and in 0 to 16% of different neoplasia. In spite of the fact that S.I.A. is not specific in its principle, it may be useful as a complementary test for detection and monitoring of viral hepatitis.
