title: [Acute hepatitis C in the presence of chronic HBV infection].
abstract: Acute HCV superinfection was studied in 23 patients with chronic hepatitis B virus infection. HBsAg, anti-HCV (C-100, core, NS3, NS5) were detected in patients' sera at first investigation. Predominant replication of HBV DNA was detected in the sera of 68% patients and HCV RNA in only 24% patients. The clinical course of acute hepatitis C in patients with chronic HBV infection in general corresponded to HCV monoinfection except for more pronounced biochemical shifts and shorter intoxication. The role of HBV and HCV in infectious process is discussed.
