Abstract

Two patients with two and three types respectively of ground-glass hepatocyte inclusions are described. Both were hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAG) positive and received cyanamide for alcohol aversion therapy. In addition, one of them had taken benzodiazepines and barbiturates. In one patient, cyanamide and HBsAg inclusions co-existed in the same hepatocytes.
