RESUMO
The presence of hepatitis C virus antibodies was studied in 64 patients with non alcoholic liver disease and found in 11 (17%). The greater frequency of positive antibodies was found among patients with cryptogenetic liver disease, specially those without serum auto-antibodies (32%). The antibody was unusually found (0 to 11%) in non alcoholic liver diseases of other etiologies. It is concluded that hepatitis C virus chronic infections may be the etiology of an important number of non alcoholic chronic liver diseases.
