title: [Hepatitis due to HDV infections].
abstract: From May 1985 to the end of February 1988 the Department of Immunopathology carried out serological studies of 518 samples of the blood serum and made an immunomorphological analysis of 518 hepatic specimens taken by needle biopsy from chronic HBsAg carries. In four cases we found the presence of antigen delta (HDV Ag) in the nuclei of the hepatocytes. These are the first fully documented by immunomorphological and serological methods cases of HDV infection in Poland. We also discussed the epidemiology and biology of viral infection in delta hepatitis.
