title: [Possibilities for cytochemical research on neutrophils and lymphocytes in assessing the severity of the course and the completeness of recovery in viral hepatitis B].
abstract: Some cytochemical characteristics were determined in peripheral blood lymphocytes and neutrophils of patients with HBsAg-positive hepatitis. The reduction of phospholipids, lysosomal cation proteins, neutrophil peroxidase and lymphocyte succinate dehydrogenase was found to correlate with the disease severity. Acid phosphatase activity and the content of lymphocyte RNA were discovered to increase depending on the disease severity. Complete recovery of the characteristics enumerated occurred only in mild forms of hepatitis.
