abstract: After an examination of the classifications of chronic hepatitis put forward between 1968 and the present a critical review of the subject is presented. On the basis of personal experience and in the light of recent developments, another classification is proposed which together with morphological criteria, haematochemical evaluation and particularly, statistically processed immunological data would permit adequate monitoring of possible therapeutic treatments.
