The clinical and histopathological evolution of 7 children with severe chronic active hepatitis and 8 with moderate chronic active hepatitis were studied. The majority (11-15) of the children had a clear past history of acute viral hepatitis. The cases of chronic active hepatitis with a moderate activity had a favorable evolution, but not the cases of severe chronic active hepatitis. Four of them developed into liver cirrhosis, in two the morphological alteration did not improve, and only one case showed a chronic presistent hepatitis.
