    Abstract:
    A hundred and one patients with chronic viral hepatitis (CVH) in the phase of replication were examined. Group 1 comprised 53 patients with CVH in combination with chronic opisthorchiasis. Group 2 (a comparison group) included 48 patients with CVH without opisthorchiasis. According to the etiology of hepatitis, each group was divided into 3 subgroups: subgroups 1a and 2a consisted of patients with CVHB; 1b and 2b included those with CVHC, and 1c and 2c comprised those with CVHB+C. The clinical, functional, and morphological status of the liver was studied and hepatic tissue was qualitatively and quantitatively assessed in all the examinees. The findings suggest that Opisthorchis is an additional factor that aggravates hepatic damage in patients with CVH in the replicative phase of infection.
