The authors studied clinically on 160 cases of viral hepatitis who were admitted to Pediatric Department from June, 1968 to May, 1972.
The following results were obtained.
1. Annual incidence: No remarkable outbreaks or increasing tendency. (0.6^?0.86%)
2. Age distribution: Highest among 4 to 6 year-group. (27.5%)
3. Sex ratio: somewhat prevalent in. male. (male : female= 1. 63 : 1)
4. Seasonal variation: Increased incidence in Autumn and Winter. (peak in December)
5. Icteric form is more frequent than anicteric one. (3.6 : 1)
6. Clinical manifestations: Hepatomegaly(98. 6%), jaundice(78. 7%), abdominal pain and discomfort (70.0%), vomiting (56.2%), and fatigability (50.6%) were frequently found.
7. Liver function test: Serum transaminases were most sensitive ones (G.O.T. and G.P.T. values were increased in 93.7% and 95% of measured cases respectively), and alkaline phosphates, T.T.T. and bilirubin values were less sensitive. The 6-8 weeks follow-up study showed that bilirubin value was normalized in ´100%, G.O.T. in 86.7%, G.P.T. in 87. 3%, alkaline phosphates in 92. 6%, and T.T.T. in 94.6% of cases.
8. Australia antigen study was done in 13 cases, but the results were all negative.
