[Hepatic markers (Ac-HVA-IgM and AcHBc-IgM) in cases of infectious hepatitis in Dominican children]. / Marcadores hepáticos (Ac-HVA-IgM y AcHBc-IgM) en casos de hepatitis infecciosas en niños dominicanos.

The presence of IgM antibodies for the HVA and HBc antigens in 90 children of 15 or less years with acute hepatitis were investigated, finding that 62% (58) were positive for HVA, 8.9% (8) for HBc and 27.8% (25) did not show antibodies for HVA or HBc (non-A non-B hepatitis); comments are made on some clinical and epidemiological findings such as a higher frequency of blood transfusions in HNANB, more males in HB and HNANB, and more hepatomegaly and liver sensitivity in HNANB.
