[Epidemiological results in recovered cases of viral hepatitis at the Infectious Disease Clinic of the University of Perugia from 1971 to 1978].
A retrospective epidemiological survey on patients admitted for hepatitis to the Infectious Disease Institute of Perugia University was undertaken. 255 out of 610 patients, examined during the 1971-1978 period, had type B hepatitis. The incidence of post transfusional hepatitis was 15.7%, while the disease showed significant increase in drug addict patients and in hospital staff.
