Abstract
Despite important advances in knowledge of infectious hepatitis during the past 20 years, treatment remains symptomatic and nonspecific. Gamma-globulin is effective in preventing development of the disease among contacts for six to eight weeks.
Adequate caloric intake and some degree of rest in bed remain the most effective features of good management.
ACT H and cortisone have not been found helpful in most instances of the disease. Abdominal surgery is contraindicated, since it is hazardous to both the patient and operating-room personnel.
