A case of the autoimmunological chronic active hepatitis following the acute HBV infection is presented. A 24-year female patient underwent HBV infection and was hospitalized one year later due to persistent abnormalities in the activity of aminotransferases. Immunosuppressive therapy improved the results of the liver functioning tests and histological picture of the liver.
