title: [Natural course of infection in children and familial transmission of C viral hepatitis].
abstract: The aim of these studies was the analysis of the natural course of HCV infection in children and the familial transmission of this virus. The results confirmed the benign character of infection with only mildly elevated aminotransferase level and mainly minimal histological abnormalities. It has been demonstrated a relatively high incidence of intrafamilial transmission of HCV infection.
