19 patients with HBs Ag-positive fulminant hepatitis underwent exchange transfusions and anti-HBs-rich plasma infusions. Circulating HBs Ag disappeared in 17 cases. Circulating anti-HBs detected by RIA was higher in cases with liver regeneration. There was no correlation between circulating anti-HBs level and the amount of anti-HBs-rich plasma administered. Recovery was observed in 36% of the cases and liver regeneration in 47%. As the beneficial effect of such a treatment is not yet evident, a controlled trial should require pairing of patients with respect to the number of exchange transfusions and amount of real or placebo anti-HBs.
