Great advances have been made concerning the etiologic, clinical and laboratory characteristics of this disease, particularly in its acute form. Different forms of sequelae have been described in the older and in the more recent literature. The variations in degree of severity have been wide— from asymptomatic, presumably innocuous, hyperbilirubinemia to disabling chronic cirrhosis of the liver.1Our interest in this problem has been the study of the natural history of the disease, with particular...Bibliography1.
