Hepatitis B Virus Studies

The sera of six of seven patients with aplastic anaemia following "hepatitis" admitted to Fairfield Hospital, Melbourne, since 1954 were examined for serological evidence of infection by HAV or HBV, with negative results. We conclude that at present there is insufficient evidence to presume that infection with any of the hepatitis viruses predisposes to aplastic anaemia.
