[The new approaches to diagnosis, treatment and expertise of chronic hepatitis in pilot personnel].

The causes of pilot personnel disqualification associated with chronic hepatitis are analysed. Until recent times insufficiently complete examination of the flying personnel suffered from the chronic hepatitis gave no way of proposing the individual programmes of treating such illness as the chronic persisting hepatitis, chronic cholecystic hepatitis, chronic cholecystic hepatitis, alimentary and medicamentous injuries. This may be responsible for the high level of disqualification of the flying personnel. Another important factor was the lack of the preparations allowing one to administer differentiated therapy. These studies permitted, with the use of such preparations as vetoron, heptral, ursosan, to improve significantly both clinical and expert indices in the pilot with chronic hepatic diseases.
