7 Viral hepatitis continues to be a major public health problem in India. Since the first officially reported epidemic of viral hepatitis in 1955 at Delhi, many outbreaks of hepatitis have occurred in different parts of the country. In India, hepatitis A virus (HAV) is still a major cause of sporadic acute hepatitis in children whereas HEV is the major agent for epidemics in adults. Most of the...

Most hepatitis A infections are acute, self-limiting, and asymptomatic. In rare instances, extra hepatic complication, such as acute cholecystitis, may emerge. Acute cholecystitis is inflammation of the gallbladder wall classified into calculus acalculus. About 90–95% cases brought on by bile duct stones. acalculous can be structural functional abnormalities in viral infection. Here we present ...

Introduction: Age wise seroprevalence of acute viral hepatitis still remains debatable. The burden of the disease could be reduced to a considerable extent, if seroprevalence of different viruses are known for various age groups. Objectives: To determine the age wise seroprevalence of hepatitis viral markers in clinically suspected infectious hepatitis at a tertiary care hospital in urban India...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Major hepatotropic viruses continue to be important causes of acute viral hepatitis in developing countries. This work was carried out to detect the seroprevalence of hepatitis E virus (HEV) markers in children with acute viral hepatitis due to hepatotropic viruses (A, B and C) and non-A, non-B, non-C acute hepatitis, and to ascertain the influence of HEV superinfection i...

AIM To study the differences in immune response and cytokine profile between acute liver failure and self-limited acute hepatitis. METHODS Forty-six patients with self-limited acute hepatitis (AH), sixteen patients with acute liver failure (ALF), and twenty-two healthy subjects were involved in this study. The inflammatory and anti-inflammatory products in plasma samples were quantified using...

today, chronic viral hepatitis is considered as a public health problem in the world. totally, 5% of the world population, especially in asia and africa suffer from this problem. the prevalence of acute hepatitis in america is 0.1-0.2 percent, 50% of those with hepatitis c (hcv) and 5-10% of them with hepatitis b (hcv) develop chronic hepatitis. determining hbv and hcv genotypes is important to...

Acute hepatitis is a disorder that goes with liver cell necrosis and liver inflammation. Among the causes of acute hepatitis, the most common reasons are viral hepatitis. About 95% of the acute hepatitis generate because of hepatotropic viruses. Epstein-barr virus (EBV) and cytomegalovirus (CMV) are from the family of herpes viruses and rare causes of acute hepatitis. In this case report, acute...

conclusions according to the presented case and subsequent literature review on fatal ebv hepatitis, clinicians should consider ebv infection in the differential diagnosis when hepatitis occurs in critically ill patients during the anti-tb therapy. although hepatitis caused by ebv is mostly self-limited, some might be fetal. introduction although hepatitis is frequently observed during antitube...

Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) is a systemic infection affecting the liver predominantly. It is caused by six distinct types of viruses A, B, C, D, E and G.1 Acute viral hepatitis is defined as those cases which have acute self limited disease and a serum aspartate aminotransferase elevation of at least five fold or clinical jaundice or both.2 Acute liver failure (ALF) is considered when the patie...

Hepatitis viral infection is hyperendemic in Egypt, western Asia and Africa. However, little is known about the status of hepatitis viruses among rural Egyptian children. Therefore, this study sought to examine the prevalence and characteristics of hepatitis viruses among symptomatic Egyptian children. Serological and molecular analyses of hepatitis viral infection were conducted in 33 children...
