Abstract
Serum samples from 77 caucasians of Greek origin with primary hepatocellular carcinoma (PHC) and 77 age- and sex-matched controls were tested for antibody to the hepatitis A virus (anti-HAV). Anti-HAV was detected in 63 patients with PHC (82%) and in 70 controls (91%). These data suggest that past infection with hepatitis A virus is not related to the development of PHC, in marked contrast to the strong association between PHC and HBV.Entities:
