    Abstract:
    A group of 12 patients with recent acute hepatitis (8/86 with HVB and 4/22 with alcoholic hepatitis) had a rapid evolution (under 2 years) towards hepatic cirrhosis (early H.C.). The clinical-biological, immunological and morphological study made evident several characteristics, which became predictive markers of the early cirrhotic evolution of acute hepatitis. Clinically, a persistence of dyspeptic disorders and appearance of several systemic manifestations is noticed. Biologically, the maintenance of some increased transmainases, variable bilirubinemia and decrease of serinemia. Immunologically, the transfer of IgM towards increased IgM, the decrease of the total T lymphocyte and of T1 substrate, the increase of the active B and T lymphocyte. The morphologic exploration is decisive for specification of the diagnosis in the early hepatic cirrhosis.
