title: [Chronic active hepatitis in alcohol abusers].
abstract: 12 cases of chronic active hepatitis in chronic alcohol abusers are described. All patients were HBsAg negative and 7 were anti-HCV positive. Four out of 5 anti-HCV patients quickly progressed to liver decompensation. It seems that chronic hepatitis seen in chronic alcohol abusers can be divided into two groups: one due to HCV infection and the other due to sensitivity to alcohol, respectively.
