Forty four patients with various forms of pulmonary tuberculosis in association with virus hepatitis B (21) and toxicoallergic hepatitis (23) were followed up in the time course of the diseases. There was a marked clinical similarity between toxicoallergic hepatitis and virus hepatitis B which differed in their qualitative indices and duration. Differential diagnosis of virus hepatitis B and toxicoallergic hepatitis was possible on the basis of the clinical signs and routine tests: determination of bilirubin and its fractions in blood, estimation of activity of alanine and aspartate aminotransferases and case follow-up with an account of the epidemiological situation.
