Fifty cases of sporadic acute viral hepatitis were studied for various hepatitis markers. There was only one case of hepatitis A. Eight percent of the acute cases were due to hepatitis B but 48% of the patients showed evidence of exposure to B virus. Seventy Six percent of the cases were due to hepatitis non-A, non B. This is the commonest type in our study. The incidence of this form of hepati...

Hepatotropic viral infections are frequent in allograft recipients and may be caused by a number of different viruses. Of these, the most important infectious agents are hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV), which can cause both acute and chronic hepatitis. In addition, Hepatitis E virus (HEV), thought previously to only cause acute hepatitis in the developing world, is emerging ...

Background: Acute Viral Hepatitis (AVH) is a major health problem worldwide, with higher incidence in developing countries, like India. The most common cause of viral hepatitis specific group hepatic viruses A, B, C and E (HAV, HBV, HCV HEV). Their clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic to acute fulminant or chronic hepatitis. Exploring the etiological spectrum clinic-epidemiological p...

Objectives & background: Drug-induced hepatotoxicity (DIH) is a common side effect of anti-TB drugs. Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) may be confounded with chronic alcoholic clinically, biochemically, and histologically (CAH). Place Study: Rashid Latif Medical College Lahore Duration March 2019 to January 2021 Methods: This prospective research examined the acute as contributing confounding fac...

Evidence documenting the global burden of disease from viral hepatitis was essential for the World Health Assembly to endorse the first Global Health Sector Strategy (GHSS) on viral hepatitis in May 2016. The GHSS on viral hepatitis proposes to eliminate viral hepatitis as a public health threat by 2030. The GHSS on viral hepatitis is in line with targets for HIV infection and tuberculosis as p...

Background: Hepatitis E is associated with poor feto-maternal outcome. Patients acute hepatitis who are pregnant usually require hospital admission and monitoring liver function tests clotting profile. Objective: To evaluate maternal fetal outcome among women have positive serology for IgM. Methods: Data of clinical presentation jaundice during pregnancy were diagnosed as was collected on pre-s...

OBJECTIVES To investigate the effect of viral hepatitis on serum levels of apo- and lipoproteins in different forms of liver diseases. MATERIALS AND METHODS One hundred and thirty adult patients and 100 healthy age- and gender-matched control individuals participated in this study. Patients were grouped according to four types of liver disease: acute viral hepatitis, chronic active hepatitis ...

Viral hepatitis A, B, C, D and E--systemic hepatotropic viral infections--present as acute hepatitis that, depending on the etiological agent, viral load and host conditions, may evolve into chronic hepatitis, cirrhosis, liver cancer and acute fulminant disease. The ecological versatility of these viruses, their spectrum of transmission in time and space, potentialized by the sub-clinical cours...
