ASCYTIC FORMS OF BOTKIN'S DISEASE

Abstract

The issue of ascites in Botkin's disease is not yet fully understood. Until recently, the literature described ascitic forms of Botkin's disease, usually proceeding severely with a picture of acute or subacute dystrophy, liver. So, in 1931 A. L. Myasnikov described 4 cases of subacute hepatitis with ascites, of which 2 ended in death. Later, parenchymal hepatitis with ascites were described by other authors (Lepene, 1935; M. A. Yasinovsky, 1948; N. V. Andrianova and H. N. Rynkova, 1949; R. I. Lepskaya; 1952). At the same time, it was noted that the disease was difficult with symptoms of acute or subacute liver dystrophy, accompanied not only by ascites, but often by general edema and gave great mortality.
