Of 209 patients with liver disease attending the Al Qassimi Hospital, Sharjah, 172 were suffering from acute hepatitis. The proportion harbouring the hepatitis B surface antigen was unknown. Of the remainder, 10 were suffering from chronic active hepatitis, five from primary hepatoma and six from cirrhosis. Infection with hepatitis virus B was regarded as of aetiological significance in three cases of chronic active hepatitis, four of primary hepatoma and two of cirrhosis.
