  • Title: [Liver changes in people of conscription age--"carriers" of hepatitis B and C viruses].
    Author: Povzun SA, Chirskiĭ VS, Zhdanov KV.
    Journal: Arkh Patol; 1999; 61(1):36-9. PubMed ID: 10198703.
    Abstract:
    89 liver needle biopsies from young persons--HBV and HCV carriers--were studied histologically, immunohistochemically, morphometrically and electron microscopically. Groups with compensatory-adaptive and degenerative liver lesions, those with mild manifestations of a chronic virus infection, and those with chronic hepatitis of minimal and weak activity were identified. Latent chronic hepatitis is found in 68.5% of HBV and HCV carriers. Morphological picture of HCV infection is more pronounced as compared to that of HBV infection. The role of eosinophils in the development of hepatitis B and C forms lacking clinical symptoms is demonstrated.
