Abstract


Hepatitis Non A Non B is the commonest type of sporadic hepatitis in Pakistan. To document its clinicopathological pattern, one hundred consecutive cases were studied. The clinical presentation indicates that it is a disease of mild severity presenting with anorexia and dark coloured urine.
