Abstract

The frequency with which certain HLA types occur was determined in 47 patients with alcoholic liver disease and 20 patients with chronic active hepatitis (C.A.H.). These were compared with a control group of 105 healthy subjects. An increased incidence of HLA-A3, B5 and B40 were found in alcoholic cirrrhosis, but the results were not statistically significant. HLA-A28 and B17 were absent in the alcoholic cirrhotic group. The incidence of HLA-B8 was reduced, but not significantly, in the alcoholic cirrhotic group. Of the patients with C.A.H., HLA-B8 was increased, but failed to reach statistical significance.
