At present Non-A and Non-B hepatitis disseminated from the intestine in the world is believed to have a better prognosis and has no chronicity. From 1980-1986, this hepatitis has occurred in the south of Xinjiang. It was sporadic (1980-1985) and there was an outbreak (1986). Our study indicated that the results from 500 cases followed up for two years were different from the literature reported. 1. Patients with hepatomegaly were 11.2% at 7th months, 12.8% at 19th months and 45.3% at 28th months. At the same time there were 3 cases of splenomegaly and spider in each of the 19th month and 28th month. 2. Liver function test showed that gamma-GTP, BSP and gamma-globulins rose in different degrees among the 3-7 month cases. Reexamined at 19th months, 3.6% cases of both ZTT and SGPT were high. General proteins of 8% patients dropped. In 42% of the patients the globulins rose and the album in dropped. 3. Biopsy of the liver after 28th months demonstrated that it was in agreement with the pathologic changes found in chronic lobule hepatitis of CPH under the light microscope and electron microscope.

The results of clinical, biochemical and histological studies in 26 children with chronic hepatitis B are reported. Most cases were detected when diagnostic procedures were arranged because of non specific abdominal complaints, by routing tests after acute hepatitis or multiple transfusions, and by examination of family members. Hepatomegaly was found in half of the cases, splenomegaly in a quarter. Other clinical signs were rarely seen. Among the biochemical findings, elevated serum transaminase activities were the most reliable indicators of chronic hepatitis. There was a significant difference of the mean transaminase activities between patients with CPH and CAH. In 15 children CPH was diagnosed histologically. 9 children had CAH, 2 children showed signs of MinH.
