In 27 patients suffering from acute hepatitis serum and synovial-fluid were tested for HB-Ag. It was detected in the serum in 19 cases, in the synovial fluid in 2 cases, but never in both serum and synovial-fluid. HB-Ag was not found in 6 patients. Polyarthritis was seen in 10 cases; 5 of them carried HB-Ag in the serum, 2 in the synovial-fluid. A hepatitis B however, was also suspected in the 3 cases with polyarthritis lacking HB-Ag. The results suggest that virus B may persist in joints too and that polyarthritis associated with acute hepatitis is coupled to an infection with virus B.
对27例急性肝炎患者的血清和滑液进行了乙肝表面抗原（HB-Ag）检测。19例患者血清中检测到HB-Ag，2例患者滑液中检测到HB-Ag，但血清和滑液中从未同时检测到。6例患者未检测到HB-Ag。10例患者出现多关节炎；其中5例血清中携带HB-Ag，2例滑液中携带HB-Ag。然而，在3例无HB-Ag的多关节炎患者中也怀疑患有乙型肝炎。结果表明，B病毒也可能在关节中持续存在，与急性肝炎相关的多关节炎与B病毒感染有关。
