Inoculation of human serums or plasmas obtained during the early acute phase of viral hepatitis induced chemical and morphological hepatic disease in marmosets in two out of five experimental series. The disease was transmissible in series from marmoset to marmoset with an apparent increased virulence of the causative agent in later marmoset passages. The chemical evidence for the disease was e...

Viral hepatitis and its acute and chronic complications continue to pose significant threats to the readiness of military personnel.

Three types of hepatitis are seen in children-acute viral hepatitis, active chronic hepatitis and the neonatal hepatitis syndrome. Few adequate controlled clinical trials of immunosuppressive therapy have been performed in these conditions, and none specifically in children. Many trials in the 1950s using corticosteroids were performed in acute viral hepatitis. Some showed that steroids were su...
