    Abstract:
    78 acute viral hepatitis (VH) cases were seen from 1971 to 1985 in patients over 60. Virus A, B, B-Delta and non-A, non-B are, respectively, responsible for 11.5, 23.1, 5.1 and 60.3% of the cases. Severe outcome occurs in 10.3%. Early in the course of VH, the risk of progression to cirrhosis concerns 1/18 VHB, 3/4 VHD, 8/47 VH NA NB. But the long-term prognosis is not so poor as stated in previous studies.
