Introduction: To ascertain the seroprevalence of enterically transmitted Hepatitis A (HAV) and Hepatitis E (HEV) in cases with acute/subacute hepatitis attending a tertiary care hospital in North West India. Methods: A total of 2936 cases were examined for the presence of current infection with HAV and HEV, determined by demonstration of HAV-IgM and HEV-IgM antibodies using ELISA. Results: Overall seroprevalence for enterically transmitted hepatitis was found to be 24.89%. HAV IgM was present in 7.35% and HEV IgM was present in 17.54% of total cases. HAV infection was predominantly found in pediatric age group while HEV infection was mostly seen among adults. Male preponderance was noted. Enteric hepatitis cases occurred throughout the year. No definitive seasonal pattern was observed. Conclusion: Our data demonstrated high seropositivity of enterically transmitted hepatitis indicating the need for improvement in personal and public hygiene, and development of HEV vaccine.

Hematological Manifestations

In patients with hepatitis E virus (HEV) infections, extrahepatic, particularly renal and hematological manifestations, are increasingly reported in the medical literature but have never been studied compared to a control cohort. We retrospectively analyzed medical records of consecutive patients that were diagnosed with acute hepatitis E (AHE) (n = 69) or acute hepatitis A (AHA) (n = 46) at the University Medical Center Hamburg Eppendorf from January 2009 to August 2019 for demographical, clinical, and laboratory information. Patients with AHE had significantly lower median levels of ALAT (798 U/L) and total bilirubin (1.8 mg/dL) compared to patients with AHA (2326 U/L; p < 0.001 and 5.2 mg/dL; p < 0.001), suggesting a generally less severe hepatitis. In contrast, patients with AHE had significantly higher median serum creatinine levels (0.9 mg/dL vs. 0.8 mg/dL; p = 0.002) and lower median estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) (91 mL/min/1.73 m2 vs. 109 mL/min/1.73 m2; p < 0.001) than patients with AHA. Leucocyte, neutrophil and lymphocyte count, hemoglobin, platelets, red cell distribution width (RDW), neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), and RDW to lymphocyte ratio (RLR) did not differ between patients with AHE and those with AHA. Our observations indicate that renal but not hematological interference presents an underrecognized extrahepatic feature of AHE, while inflammation of the liver seems to be more severe in AHA.

La primera causa de ictericia en el embarazo es la hepatitis viral que puede ser causada por lo menos por cinco virus (A, B, C, D y E). El descubrimiento del virus de la hepatitis C y Delta prácticamente eliminó las antes denominadas Hepatitis No A No B y aún existe la posibilidad de descubrir nuevos virus.En este artículo se presenta un caso clínico de hepatitis B y se revisa etiología, diagnóstico, profilaxis y tratamiento de las diferentes hepatitis virales, haciendo énfasis en el diagnóstico, tratamiento y profilaxis del hijo de madre con hepatitis B, por la morbimortalidad que representa. Se revisa la hepatitis Delta, importante en Colombia, por tener zonas endémicas de este virus que requiere la infección previa o simultánea de hepatitis B. Por último se revisa la hepatitis E, de características similares a la hepatitis A, pero que afecta preferencialmente a la mujer gestante y en ella tiene mayor índice de morbimortalidad.

ABSTRACT Foodborne viruses including hepatitis A virus (HAV), norovirus (NoV), rotavirus (RoV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV) are easily transmitted through contaminated seafoods. The current research was done to assess the incidence of RoV, NoV GI and GII,hAV and hEV in fish and shrimp samples caught from the Persian Gulf, Iran. Three-hundred and twenty fish and shrimp samples were collected. The presence of foodborne viruses were assessed by the real-time PCR. Forty-nine out of 320 (15.31%) fish and shrimp samples were positive for foodborne viruses. Distribution of hAV, NoV GI and NoV GII amongst all studied samples were 0.93%, 5.93% and 8.43%, respectively. hEV and RoV viruses were not found in studied samples. Parastromateus niger and Scomberomorus commerson fish and Penaeus monodon shrimp were the most frequently contaminated samples. Simultaneous incidence of hAV and NoV GI and hAV and NoV GII were 0.31% and 0.93%, respectively. Distribution of foodborne viruses in samples collected through spring, summer, autumn and winter seasons were 14.28%, 9.33%, 11.76% and 24.44%, respectively. Findings revealed that the incidence of foodborne viruses was significantly associated with seafood species and also season of sampling.

Acute Hepatitis E

Viral hepatitis may be occasionally associated with acute pancreatitis. Usually the patient presents with abdominal pain in the second or third week of illness. Hepatitis A or E viruses are mostly implicated. HEV related acute pancreatitis was first reported only 12 years ago. We report a case of a young male presenting with acute Hepatitis E infection complicated by pancreatitis. He had an uneventful recovery. This is probably the first report of this association from Eastern India.

Penyakit Hepatitis adalah penyakit yang disebabkan oleh beberapa jenis virus yang menyerang dan menyebabkan peradangan serta merusak sel-sel organ hati manusia. Hepatitis dikategorikan dalam beberapa golongan, diantaranya hepatitis A, B, C, D dan E. Hepatitis dibagi menjadi 2 yaitu hepatitis akut yang  berlangsung kurang dari 6 bulan ditularkan melalui fecal oral lewat makanan dan hepatitis kronis yang berlangsung lebih dari 6 bulan ditularkan lewat cairan parenrral, seksual, plasenta. Hepatitis akut terdiri dari virus hepatitis A dan virus hepatitis E, sedangkan hepatitis kronis terdiri dari virus hepatitis B dan virus hepatitis C. Di Indonesia penyakit Hepatitis yang paling banyak di derita adalah hepatitis A, B dan hepatitis C. Sedangkan mengidentifikasi serangan penyakit pemyakit hepatitis, dapat dilakukan dengan cara melihat fisik secara langsung pada setiap bagian tubuh, baik kulit, mata, air seni. Dalam penelitian ini, dilakukan identifikasi penyakit hepatitis A, B, C, D, E. Sistem penalaran komputer berbasis kasus case based reasoning (CBR) merupakan sistem yang bertujuan untuk menyelesaikan suatu kasus baru dengan cara mengadaptasi solusi-solusi yang terdapat kasus-kasus sebelumnya yang mirip dengan kasus baru tersebut.
