hepatitis a is acute and usually self - limiting disease, but sometimes it can be dangerous such as in immunosuppressed patients. purpose of this study is to investigate the prevalence of hepatitis a serology in hiv/aids patients. 247 hiv positive patients from march 2005 to september 2006 were entered in this study. participants completed questionnaires to elicit demographic, drug and sex risk...

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...

background and objectives: accurate detection of type and severity of hepatitis is crucial for effective treatment of the disease. while several computational algorithms for detection of hepatitis have been proposed to date, their limited performance leaves room for further improvement. this paper proposes a novel computational method for the diagnosis of hepatitis b using pattern detection tec...

results a total number of nine patients were registered. seven patients were male and two were female. the mean age was 30.11 ± 10.09.two patients were from the same family. all patients had typical symptoms of acute hepatitis a. none of the patients died nor did fulminant occur in any patients. in addition, all patients were treated with supportive treatment and subsequently recovered. patient...

Acute pancreatitis complicating fulminant viral hepatitis has been well recognized; however, acute pancreatitis occurring in nonfulminant hepatitis is very rare. The case presented describes moderate pancreatitis in a young male, manifesting during the course of nonfulminant acute hepatitis E infection. The diagnosis of acute viral hepatitis E was confirmed by serology and reverse transcriptase...

Background: Hepatitis viruses are non-cytopathic viruses that lead to the infection and pathogenesis of liver diseases as a result of immunologically mediated event. Objective: To investigate the expression of human inflammatory cytokines in chronic hepatitis B patients according to the severity of the infection. Methods: We recruited a total of 120 patients, 40 of whom from cirrhotic, 40 non-c...

hepatitis a infection is usually a self–limited disease during childhood. autoimmune manifestations are rarely reported among patients with ha infection. we describe a previously healthy 6-yr-old male with acute hepatitis a who developed immune thrombocytopenia.

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 ...

type e hepatitis is caused by an unclassified virus producing acute self-limited hepatitis in different parts of the world. in order to estimate the prevalence of hepatitis e virus seropositivity in tehran blood donors, a cross– sectional study was performed by the enzyme immunoassay method from 2003 to 2004 in a group of 90 blood donors. we noticed that 7 cases (7.8%) were anti-hev ab positive...

conclusions hepatitis a causes an acute infection. the patients usually recover after a few weeks or months. fulminant hepatitis can be observed in hav infection but chronic infection does not exist. extrahepatic complications and cardiac disorders are often reported in association with hepatitis c and b viruses, but they are very rare in hav infections. case presentation we present a 14-year-o...
