Intranuclear virus-like particles in HBsAG- and IHxAG-negative acute hepatitis (type C?) (Preliminary report)
Abstract:
Virus-like particles, acute hepatitis, hepatitis type C. Intranuclear virus-like particles were found by electron microscopy in liver cells of a woman suffering from mild HBsAG- and IHxAG negative acute hepatitis. The particles encountered were morphologically different from those found in hepatitis B and hepatitis A respectively. Futher studies are required to clarify whether the structures represent an incidental finding of a new human (passenger) virus or they may be related to the aetiological agent of the supposed hepatitis type C.
