103 patients carriers of hepatitis C virus antibodies detected by the Cuban diagnostic system (Anti HCV, CIGB, Havana) were studied. Active chronic hepatitis (23.2 %) was the predominant histological lesion, although there were 2 cases with acute severe hepatitis due to a combined infection with A and B viruses. A few symptoms were observed in most of the patients, who were blood donors and blood transfusion receptors (44.5 %). The latter were associated with the most severe hapatic lesions. It is stressed the presence of heal thy carriers of the virus.
