title: [Liver cirrhosis in surgical samples].
abstract: 1729 liver excisions from patients with laparotomy (1302 women, 427 men) were analyzed during 5 years (1984-1988). There were 12 cirrhoses among them (in 6 women and 6 men) with medium history of about 5 years. HBsAg was proved both according to Shikata and immunohistochemically in 4 cirrhoses, two of them were serologically positive, only one known before operation. A case of seroconversion was observed (repeated seronegativity with histochemical and immunochemical HBsAg positivity). Men: women ratio of 3:1 correlated with the literature as well as the prevalence of macronodular and mixed cirrhosis in women and micronodular cirrhosis in men. Paper points out an infection risk in surgical staff operating on cases with unrevealed HBsAg positivity.
