We reported two cases of acute viral hepatitis of non-A, non-B type in a family. A mother in a family, 47 years old, was diagnosed as sporadic non-A, non-B acute hepatitis and was admitted in a hospital. One of her daughters, 22 years old, had been taking care of the patient at home before and in the hospital after admission. This daughter developed acute viral hepatitis of non-A, non-B type 3 months after the onset of her mother's illness. The other members of this family, husband of the propositus case and the younger daughter, showed no sign of hepatitis and revealed no abnormalities in their blood chemistries. Forthermore, no epidemic outbreak of viral hepatitis could be obserbed around this family. So that the mode of the contraction of non-A, non-B hepatitis in this affected daughter was thought to be due to the intimate personal contact with her mother.
