Abstract |
Summary
1. | In the past fifteen years, nine cases of virus hepatitis in infancy havebeen seen and studied at The Children's Memorial Hospital. Five of these (56 per cent) had a fatal outcome. |
2. | Four infants who came to autopsy are presented in detail with the clinical, laboratory, and post-mortem findings. |
3. | Contrary to general belief, our experience suggests that although thiscondition is rare in infancy, the prognosis is much more serious than in older children. |
