title: [An epidemiological assessment of the chronic carriage of the hepatitis B virus surface antigen and other markers of this infection].
abstract: On the basis of prolonged (up to 10 years) observations of chronic HBsAg carriers (87 persons) slowly progressing chronic hepatitis B virus infection was detected in most of them (57.5%). In these persons up to 6 negative results of the analysis for the presence of HBsAg were periodically obtained, with the subsequent renewal of HBs-antigenemia. More profound examination of 192 persons with chronic lesions of the liver and other digestive organs helped diagnose chronic persistent hepatitis and chronic active hepatitis, accompanied by HBs-antigenemia and the circulation of other markers of this infection, in 63.5% of the examinees.
