[hepatology and immunology].	immunologic diseases of the liver are exogenous mostly initiated by virus or endogenous initiated by autoaggression. all virus-induced kinds of hepatitis are due to an immune response against inocculated hepatocytes. therefore the hepatitis is limited to the period of complete elimination of virus-infected cells. a strong immune response therefore corresponds with an acute and short hepatitis whilest a weak immune response develops a chronic hepatitis. in contrast, autoimmune hepatitis based on ...	1978	205495
