A case of acute hepatitis type non‐A, non‐B in a 20‐year‐old woman is reported. Virus‐like particles with a size of about 27 nm in diameter could be identified by electron microscopy in numerous hepatocellular nuclei. They are thought to represent one candidate for the intranuclear form of a non‐A, non‐B hepatitis virus.
