[Hemorrhagic vasculitis and the hepatitis B virus].
Twenty-one patients with hemorrhagic vasculitis (HV) were examined for HBsAg, nine for HBeAg, anti-HBe, anti-HBc, anti-HBs. HBV markers were identified in 6 out of 21 patients (29.6%): HBsAg in 5 cases (one of them also anti-HBc and anti-HBe), anti-HBs in 1 case. The history of HV ranged from 4 months to 8 years. Normal serum transaminase was seen in 5 out of 6 patients with HBV markers. It was somewhat elevated in 1 of the examinees due to cytostatic treatment in parallel growing of HBsAg titer. Cryoglobulins occurred in 3 out of 6 cases. Renal biopsy from 3 HBV markers carriers identified mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis in all of them.
