Clinical course of chronic viral hepatitis c in children

In the following article clinical course processes of chronical hepatitis C in children is analysed.  The incidence of seropositivity is identified. The authors have analysed the arginase activity of saliva which maintained the indices of chronical hepatitis. The existence of a hematosalivation barrier  in  the  body,  the  presence  of  a  metabolism  between  blood  and  saliva,  as  well  as  the homeostatic role of these biological fluids for each other - all these facts make saliva capable in some cases of replacing blood in laboratory tests. Thus, the accumulated literature data indicate that the chronic hepatitis C virus may remain asymptomatic for a long time, but a number of extrahepatic manifestations in the oral cavity can be detected in patients.
