title: [Clinico-morphological features of chronic hepatopathy with concomitant viral infection and chronic narcotic intoxication].
abstract: The aim of this work was to evaluate liver function in subjects suffering from viral hepatitis and concomitant narcotic dependence. Clinico-biochemical, virologic, and morphological studies involving 92 patients revealed a number of specific features of chronic viral hepatitis complicated by drug addiction. However, the majority of them could be reliably identified only by a quantitative microscopic method. Worthy of special note are high frequency of lymphoid follicle formation in the portal tracts and signs of developing micronodular liver cirrhosis.
