title: [Markers of viral hepatitis B. Diagnostic, prognostic and therapeutic relevance].
abstract: Analysis of the behaviour and chronological development of B virus markers (including those most recently identified) in acute and chronic hepatitis gives rise to a diagnostic hypothesis about their presence and association. The prognostic and therapeutic significance of the markers is also emphasised with particular reference to fulminating and chronic active HBSAg and D positive hepatitis and the early diagnosis of liver cell carcinoma.
