title: [Associated hepatitis B virus forms and analysis of immunologic configurations in histologically typified chronic diseases of the liver. Epidemiologic aspects and development factors].
abstract: We report histological aspect of population, expression of middle classes of Lombardia (Italy), affected by hepatomegaly with or without marks of biohumoral compromised. After classification in groups, according to a minutely explained scheme, we investigate the hepatitis B virus (HBV) immunological aspect and the frequency of the several configurations in every group. We have found HBV positive almost half hepatopathies classified as metabolic according to histological features and 70% of the liver cirrhosis without histological signs of inflammation. The immunological shape showed by last group is identical to the shape of the group with typical histological signs of persistent chronic hepatitis. Another epidemiologic factor as age marks the different histological groups and leads to advance hypotheses of consecutiveness. Distribution of the different histological forms with reference to sex allows the same considerations on pathogenetic factors of progression.
