an acute (sometimes fatal) form of viral hepatitis caused by a DNA virus that tends to persist in the blood serum and is transmitted by sexual contact or by transfusion or by ingestion of contaminated blood or other bodily fluids
In a word, serum hepatitis was also infectious. 换句话说,血清性肝炎也是传染性的。
In suspected cases of serum hepatitis the diagnosis may be made earlier if the test for Australia antigen is positive. 怀疑为血清性肝炎的病例,如果澳大利亚抗原试验为阳性,则可尽早作出诊断。
