Abstract
The effects of physical activity during an attack of infectious hepatitis are discussed.
There is no evidence that activity during convalescence produces any ill-effects.
On the other hand, strenuous physical activity in the acute stage may be dangerous, possibly because hepatic blood-flow is reduced.
