[Seroconversion to various hepatitis C virus antigens in patients with hepatitis C from various sources]

A total of 136 patients with acute icteric hepatitis C, including patients with known outcome, were examined. Therefore, 46 serological samples, obtained from 13 patients with subsequent remission, and 63 samples, obtained from 13 patients, who subsequently developed the chronic disease stage, were analyzed. The serum of known outcome patients were examined, by using the immune-enzyme analysis method, to the antibodies of both class IgG, and IgM. Differences in the dynamics of the immune humoral response were established with due regard for a pathological course process, including the acute disease stage. The obtained results are interesting because of their prognostic values.
