17 Cards in this Set

  • Front
  • Back
Hepatitis A
acute infection only

flu like symptoms in adults
often asymptomatic in children

usually travelers - fecal oral route

problem in people with chronic liver disease

vaccine
Hepatitis E
severe acute hepatitis - no chronic infection

more severe than Hep A

20% mortaility among pregnant women

often see in outbreaks
Hepatitis B
DNA virus (only one of the hepatitis viruses)
Hepatitis B Core Ab IgM
indicates acute HBV
Hepatitis B Surface Ag
indicates infection (acute or chronic)
Hepatitis B Surface Ab
indicates immunity to Hep B
Hepatitis B E Ag
indicates active replication (and usually active hepatitis)
Hepatitis B E Ab
seroconversion
Hepatitis B DNA
high titer correlates with viral activity and risk for hepatocellular carcinoma
perinatally acquired chronic HBV
Surface Ag+
high serum HBV DNA

ALT is normal
HBx -
minimal inflammation

can serocovert:
E Ag-, E Ab+, low HBV DNA
adult acquired chronic HBV
S Ag+, E Ag+, high serum HBV DNA

elevated ALT, HBx-, active inflammation
inactive (carrier) chronic HBV
S Ag+ > 6months
E Ag-, E Ab+

ALT normal
low HBV DNA
HBeAg- chronic hepatitis
mutant virus that doesnt produce E Ag

E Ag-, E Ab +/-, S Ag+

high serum HBV DNA, elevated ALT, active inflammation
Hepatitis D
Needs concurrent HBV infection - for viral coating

coinfection and superinfection - more sever hepatitis
causes of acute hepatitis in HBsAg+ person
acute HBV infection

Superinfection

seroconversion HBeAG-> anti-Hbe

HBV reactivation

non-viral liver injury
Hepatitis C
most often becomes chronic viral hepatitis

route of infection - blood - tatoos, needles (not usually sexual)

EtOH and HCV dmg is synergistic
Hepatitis B labs
acute infection see HCV RNA

HCV Ab to diagnosis

ALT will go up and down
