title: [The behavior of circulating immune complexes in acute viral hepatitis].
abstract: The authors analyse the behaviour of the circulating immune complexes in acute virus hepatitides with and without HBs antigenaemia in correlation with the bilirubin level and the transaminases. No essential differences were found depending on the severity of the lesion of the liver parenchyma and on the proof of the HBs-antigen. Constantly increased immune complexes were found during the whole period of observation. It seems that 4 weeks after the beginning of the disease a normalisation of the immunogenic reactivity and an end of the elimination of the causative organism did not yet appear.
