ELECTRON MICROSCOPE STUDY ON THE INFECTIOUS AND SERUM HEPATITIS

Abstract

In 26 cases of serum hepatitis from the observations of 80 cases of serum hepatitis and infectious hepatitis, the dense virus-like particles approximately 200 A in diameter, isolated or in clusters, were observed in the cytoplasm of the hepatic parenchymal cells and of the developing fibroblasts. Moreover, the intranuclear inclusion bodies formed by invagination of the nuclear envelope were found in several hepatic parenchymal cells in cases of serum hepatitis. Many of the inclusion bodies were revealed to contain dense particles which were similar or smaller as compared with the virus-like particles appearing in the cytoplasm. The dense particles within the inclusion seemed to appear associated with the ATPase reaction product.
