A study is made on 131 patients with presumptive diagnosis of viral hepatitis showing that 25% of patients had acute liver failure as an epiphenomenon of a liver disorder excluding viral hepatitis. These results were obtained through a systematic study of all patients in their various clinical, humoral, and anatomotissular aspects; the latter was achieved through laparoscopy and liver biopsy in the state of the disease.
Twenty-seven patients with fasciolasis which was diagnosed through biliary drainage indicated in patients with upper digestive symptoms, particularly of the gastroduodenal portion are presented. The great significance of this procedure in the positive diagnosis of this disease is stressed. The clinical and humoral pictures of these patients are analyzed, and emphasis is made on their poorly defined clinical picture as well as on the little effectiveness of the humoral tests and parasitological studies performed on them. The results of liver macro and microscopic studies on a group of these patients are shown, and the fact that only one patient had lesions attributable to parasitic infestation is pointed out.
