Clinical Features • Sub clinical • Clinical o Non specific (fever, myalgea, arthralgia, fatigue. . ) o gastrointestinal (jaundice, itching, anorexia, pain. . )
Hepatitis A • Incubation Period: 15 -50 days • Clinical Hepatitis -<6 y : <10% -6 -14 y : 40 -50% -14 y : 70 -80%
Hepatitis B • Incubation Period: 45 -180 days • Clinical Hepatitis • -<5 y : <10% ->5 y : 30 -50% Chronic Infection: -<5 y : 30 -90% ->5 y : 2 -10%
Hepatitis C • Incubation Period: 2 -26 Weeks • Clinical Hepatitis: 20% • Chronic Infection: 80%
Hepatitis D • HBV Co infection -Severe acute hepatitis -Low risk of chronic infection • HBV Super infection -High risk of chronic liver disease
Hepatitis E • Incubation Period: 15 -60 days • Case fatality: 20% in pregnancy • Illness severity: Increase with age
Diagnosis • Biochemical tests o Serum aminotransferases o Serum billirubin o albumin • Serology o Serum antigens / antibody o Nucleic acid detection (PCR)
Diagnosis • Serology o HAV-Ab Ig. M o HBs. Ag, HBe. Ag, HBc. Ab Ig. M o HCV Ab o HDV Ab Ig. M o HEV Ab Ig. M
Treatment • Supportive management • Prevent infection spread • Specific antiviral therapy (may be considered for HBV & HCV) • Liver transplant for Fulminant hepatitis
