[Hepatic markers (Ac-HVA-IgM and AcHBc-IgM) in cases of infectious hepatitis in Dominican children].
The presence of IgM antibodies for the HVA and HBc antigens in 90 children of 15 or less years with acute hepatitis were investigated, finding that 62% (58) were positive for HVA, 8.9% (8) for HBc and 27.8% (25) did not show antibodies for HVA or HBc (non-A non-B hepatitis); comments are made on some clinical and epidemiological findings such as a higher frequency of blood transfusions in HNANB, more males in HB and HNANB, and more hepatomegaly and liver sensitivity in HNANB.
