The distribution of types I and III collagen fibrils was analysed in liver fragments of 18 cases of alcoholic hepatic cirrhosis. Using the method of picrosirius polarization the collagen fibrils type I and III were found to be very increased in both intra and extralobular connective tissue. Type I fibrils were more frequent in the extralobular tissue and type III in the intralobular connective tissue.
