病毒性肝炎导致肝细胞破坏。单核细胞浸润从门脉区延伸，破坏正在坏死（也称为慢性活动性肝炎的“碎片状”坏死）的肝细胞界板。该患者的乙肝表面抗原（HbsAg）和乙肝核心抗体（HbcAb）呈阳性。
Viral hepatitis leads to liver cell destruction. A mononuclear inflammatory cell infiltrate extends from portal areas and disrupts the limiting plate of hepatocytes which are undergoing necrosis, the so-called "piecemeal" necrosis of chronic active hepatitis. In this case, the hepatitis B surface antigen (HbsAg) and hepatitis B core antibody (HbcAb) were positive.
