He developed rising alanine aminotransferase levels and became jaundiced with symptoms of acute hepatitis in May. He had not received a transfusion since September 1989. His only medications were cotrimoxazole and cyclosporine A. Blood tests on May 1 showed an alkaline phosphatase level of 134 IU/L (normal, less than...References1. LocasciulliBacigalupovan Lint AAM.
