title: [Studies regarding the chronicization potential of viral hepatitis in children].
abstract: Out of 205 children, former patients with viral hepatitis, investigated after the end of the follow-up period by clinical and laboratory examinations, 9 (4.4%) presented mild or moderate pathological alterations. At the second control, carried out after an another interval de 1-1½ years, the pathological alterations were refound only in 2 of the former patients, suggesting that all the others presented lasting forms of acute viral hepatitis evolving towards healing. The presence of AgHBs and the alteration of proteinogramme in the acute phase of VH can serve as criteria of unfavourable prognosis of the disease evolution and impose a preferential follow-up of this category of patients.
