[The differential diagnosis of acute viral hepatitis by using a complex of specific immunological markers]

Examination of 2005 patients with acute viral hepatitis provided grounds for calculation of hepatitis A, B, D, mixed hepatitis A+B and B+D ratios as well as for estimation of hepatitis A morbidity in carriers of HBsAg both in seasonal epidemic and interepidemic periods. Changes of directive documents need to be made in the part stipulating blood serum examination in patients and other contingents solely for HBsAg, for this principle does not correspond to modern scientific level and practical demands.
