Abstract

Six individuals with protracted acute type B hepatitis were treated with recombinant alpha-A-interferon for 12 weeks. Two females eliminated the HBV completely, while 4 males did not respond. Response was preceded by a flare-up of the liver disease. It appears that responses to interferon are not higher in protracted acute type B hepatitis than in progressed chronic active hepatitis B. This assumption has to be proven in larger studies on a statistical basis.
