Introduction. Clinical presentation of viral hepatitis ranges from mild symptoms to fulminant hepatitis. Our aim is to describe clinical presentation and outcomes of children with viral hepatitis from the Eastern Ontario/Western Quebec regions of Canada. Methods. Retrospective chart review of children diagnosed with viral hepatitis at our institution from January 1, 1998, to December 31, 2007. Results. There were 261 charts reviewed, only 64 had a confirmed viral etiology: 34 (53%) hepatitis B (HBV), 16 (25%) hepatitis C (HCV), 4 (6.3%) hepatitis A (HAV), 7 (11%) cytomegalovirus (CMV), and 3 (4.7%) Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). Children with HBV presented at a mean age of 6.4±4.6 years. Spontaneous seroconversion (appearance of HBVeAb and loss of HBVeAg) occurred in 21/34 (61.7%). Children with acute hepatitis (HAV, CMV, and EBV) presented with mild abdominal pain, jaundice, and fevers. Overall outcome was excellent. Conclusion. Acute and chronic hepatitis in children has a benign course; moreover, HBV spontaneous seroconversion is common in pediatric patients.

Primary Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection is almost always a self-limited disease characterized by sore throat, fever, and lymphadenopathy. Hepatic involvement is usually characterized by mild elevations of aminotransferases and resolves spontaneously. Although isolated gallbladder wall thickness has been reported in these patients, acute acalculous cholecystitis is an atypical presentation of primary EBV infection. We presented a young women admitted with a 10-day history of fever, nausea, malaise who had jaundice and right upper quadrant tenderness on the physical examination. Based on diagnostic laboratory tests and abdominal ultrasonographic findings, cholestasis and acute acalculous cholecystitis were diagnosed. Serology performed for EBV revealed the acute EBV infection. Symptoms and clinical course gradually improved with the conservative therapy, and at the 1-month follow-up laboratory findings were normal. We reviewed 16 adult cases with EBV-associated AAC in the literature. Classic symptoms of EBV infection were not predominant and all cases experienced gastrointestinal symptoms. Only one patient underwent surgery and all other patients recovered with conservative therapy. The development of AAC should be kept in mind in patients with cholestatic hepatitis due to EBV infection to avoid unnecessary surgical therapy and overuse of antibiotics.

Penyakit Hepatitis adalah peradangan pada hati karena toxin, seperti kimia, obat atau agen penyebab infeksi. Penyakit ini disebabkan oleh beberapa jenis virus yang menyerang dan menyebabkan peradangan serta merusak sel-sel organ hati manusia. Hepatitis yang berlangsung kurang dari 6 bulan disebut hepatitis akut, hepatitis yang berlangsung lebih dari 6 bulan disebut hepatitis kronis. Hepatitis diketegorikan dalam beberapa golongan, diantaranya hepatitis A, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, hepatitis D, hepatitis E, dan hepatitis G. Hepatitis juga terjadi karena infeksi virus lainnya, seperti mononukleosis itinfeksiosa, demam kuning dan infeksi Virus Mumps, Virus Rubella, Virus Cytomegalovirus, Virus Epstein-Barr, Virus Herpes. Penyebab hepatitis non – virus yang utama adalah alkohol dan obat-obatan. Pada wanita hamil kemungkinan untuk terjangkit hepatitis virus adalah sama dengan wanita tidak hamil pada umur yang sama. Kelainan hepar yang mempunyai hubungan langsung dengan peristiwa kehamilan, ialah : Acute fatty liver of pregnancy (Obstetric acute yellow-atrophy). Infeksi hepatitis virus pada kehamilan tidak berhubungan langsung dengan peristiwa kehamilan, namun tetap memerlukan penanganan khusus, mengingat penyulit-penyulit yang mungkin timbul baik untuk ibu maupun janin. Hepatitis virus sering menimbulakan jaundice pada kehamilan, dengan kemajuan pengobatan saat ini, asam ursodeoxychalic dapat mengurangi kerusakan hati, baik akut maupun kronik.
