✦ Synopsis

We evaluated the natural course of delta superinfection in patients with chronic B viral hepatitis by examining serial liver biopsy specimens from 23 patients. The mean follow-up period W a s 2.5 years, and the avstriking features were: (i) the prolonged acute hepatitislike necroinflammatory activity (mean = 15 months)
