[Morphologic characteristics of HBV markers and products of iron metabolism in liver tissue in patients with hepatitis B virus].
In the histomorphologic analysis of 126 liver biopsies with hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection the authors have met some difficulties in the interpretation of findings of three biopsies which showed the presence of hemosiderine and ferritin deposits in hepatocytes. The lack of cells with the appearance of "ground glass", that is, ground glass hepatocytes which are one of the important features of HBV infection and aberration from the standard features in some histochemical stainings are noticed in all three biopsies. Since only few authors have noticed the same problem, it is possible that these results open new ways in the study of pathogenesis of HBV infection in the liver and its relationship with iron metabolism.
