Abstract

Cytopathologic agents were isolated from 14 of 22 Indian children involved in an outbreak of infectious hepatitis in Arizona. Isolation was made in a serially transplantable cell line originating from human embryonic lung. Efforts to identify these agents as known viruses, by utilizing standard techniques, have been unsuccessful
