Whereas, in chronic type B hepatitis, the therapeutic effect of alpha-interferon has been studied extensively, data on the effect of interferon on the course and prognosis of acute hepatitis B are scarce in the literature. We report a case of acute type B hepatitis complicated by life-threatening extrahepatic manifestations where recombinant alpha-interferon facilitated clinical, biochemical, and serological recovery.
