title: [Diagnostic and prognostic value of antialbumin antibodies (AAA) in acute viral hepatitis].
abstract: The behaviour of antialbumin antibodies (AAA) was tested by immunodiffusion in 284 patients suffering from acute viral hepatitis. AAA were found in more than 80% of the cases, and in only 16% of the control lot. The AAA titer was higher the more severe was the clinical form of the disease. As the AAA titer appears to be a marker of functional alterations of the hepatocyte, the test might be used to check the recovery of convalescents after acute viral hepatitis.
