  • Title: [Can therapeutic measures cause a hepatitis virus infection to become chronic? (author's transl)].
    Author: Müller R.
    Journal: MMW Munch Med Wochenschr; 1976 May 21; 118(21):679-82. PubMed ID: 58376.
    Abstract:
    The question whether a hepatitis B virus infection can become chronic as a result of prophylactic or therapeutic measures is investigated. Experience with standard or hepatitis B gamma-globulin has shown no negative influence on the development of chronic hepatitis B virus infections. On the other hand it cannot be excluded that a hepatitis B virus infection may be so modified by steroid therapy, by immunosuppressive or cytostatic treatment that the disease runs a milder course and then tends to chronicity with persistence of HBs antigen.
