Antigenemia HBs and other serological markers of hepatitis B virus infection in patients with acute and chronic alcoholism. 1986

P Boron, and E Sokolewicz-Bobrowska, and A Boron-Kaczmarska, and Z Sidun, and R Pilasiewicz

Serological markers of hepatitis B virus infection were studied in a group of recently presenting alcoholic out-patients and compared with a group of long-stay in-patients suffering from chronic alcoholism. All markers of infection were increased in the chronic group and were thought to be related to admission to the Alcohol Unit. Although both groups had normal liver function tests, the patients with the longer alcohol history had evidence of two coexisting causes of liver disease and may, therefore, have a much poorer prognosis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007136 Immunoglobulins Multi-subunit proteins which function in IMMUNITY. They are produced by B LYMPHOCYTES from the IMMUNOGLOBULIN GENES. They are comprised of two heavy (IMMUNOGLOBULIN HEAVY CHAINS) and two light chains (IMMUNOGLOBULIN LIGHT CHAINS) with additional ancillary polypeptide chains depending on their isoforms. The variety of isoforms include monomeric or polymeric forms, and transmembrane forms (B-CELL ANTIGEN RECEPTORS) or secreted forms (ANTIBODIES). They are divided by the amino acid sequence of their heavy chains into five classes (IMMUNOGLOBULIN A; IMMUNOGLOBULIN D; IMMUNOGLOBULIN E; IMMUNOGLOBULIN G; IMMUNOGLOBULIN M) and various subclasses.
