title: [The clinical examination for posttransfusion hepatitis].
abstract: We studied viral hepatitis, type A, type B, type D and type non A non B. Type A hepatitis was diagnosed by the serological examination for IgM type anti-HA and total anti-HA. Several cases were negative for IgM type anti-HA within 2 weeks after the onset of type A hepatitis. Type B hepatitis was diagnosed by RIA for serum HBs antigen. Several cases of type B hepatitis were negative for serum HBs antigen but positive for IgM type anti-HBc, or hepatocytes were positive for HBs antigen. These cases had high titer of total anti-HBc. Type D hepatitis was diagnosed by RIA for anti-delta in serum and by PAP stain for delta antigen in hepatocytes. All cases of type D hepatitis were positive for anti-delta in their serum and positive for delta antigen in their hepatocytes, they were positive for HBs antigen. Incidence of HDV infection was 0.7% in HBV carrier. The incidence of non A non B hepatitis was 27.6% in 105 recipients and the incidence of its progression to the chronicity was 20.0%.
