Abstract
An antigen has been detected in fæcal extracts from 90 out of 220 patients with viral hepatitis and from 5 of 158 patients with other diseases. In viral hepatitis this antigen is present early in the disease and usually disappears within three weeks of the first appearance of dark urine. It seems to be particulate and is serologically distinct from Australia antigen. © 1970.
