Interest has been largely focused on etiology, epidemiology, pathology and treatment, and many important contributions have been made. Relatively little attention has been paid to the residuals and relapses of this disease and many questions regarding its prognosis remain unanswered.Ninety to 95 per cent of patients with infectious hepatitis apparently recover in a period of two to three months. The clinical course in the remainder varies considerably. We have had an opportunity to study a large number of patients with infectious hepatitis, most of whom have...Bibliography1.
