(1) Hepatitis Virus (HAV and HBV) Flashcards
viruses that cause the same conditions, the same disease which is hepatitis
Hepatitis Virus
why does hepatitis virus, regardless of the pathogen are able to cause hepatitis?
because these viruses have a high affinity to liver in which they attack and where they reside
the fucking bold wont work, i hate life
Greek word “hepar”
liver
Latin word “itis”
inflammation
Greek word “hepar” + Latin word “itis” =?
Hepatitis
Hepatitis may be caused by?
viruses, or by non-infectious
agents
not microorganism
what are the two main groups of Hepatitis?
- Primary hepatitis viruses
- Secondary hepatitis viruses
what group mainly affects the HEPATOCYTES
Primary hepatitis viruses
what hepatitis virus are found in the primary hepatitis virus
types A, B, C, D, E, and G
hepatitis
no F
main cause of viral hepatitis amounting to 95% of hepatitis cases
Primary hepatitis viruses
also produce liver inflammation, but is secondary to other disease processes.
Secondary hepatitis viruses
Liver is not the host cell, and the disease itself serves as a complication from another primary infection
Secondary hepatitis viruses
what are the main causes for secondary hepatitis viruses?
- EBV
- CMV
- Herpes virus
what are the starting symproms for hepatitis?
flu-like symptoms
fatigue, fever, myalgia, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea or constipation, and mild to moderate pain in the right upper quadrant of the abdomen
Progression of the hepatitis can cause specific complication such as?
- hepatomegaly
- jaundice
- dark urine
- light feces
what are the 2 acute stages of viral hepatitis
- Acute Stage
- Fulminant Acute Stage
Stages of Viral Hepatitis
sudden onset of signs and symptoms which may slowly progress to other stages or forms
Acute Stage
Stages of Viral Hepatitis
Causes sudden onset of signs and symptoms with an immediate progression to lethal stages, and the stage wherein an individual may be prone to complications
Fulminant Acute Stage
Stages of Viral Hepatitis
Also known to be the latent, or asymptomatic stage, wherein there are no signs and symptoms, but there is an active condition
Subclinical without Jaundice Stage
Stages of Viral Hepatitis
Occurs months to years after the acute stage
Chronic Stage
INITIAL LABORATORY FINDINGS
What elevation of certain analyte are seen?
bilirubin and other liver enzymes, especially, ALT
INITIAL LABORATORY FINDINGS
TOF
Specific indicators of liver inflammation and must be followed by specific serological or molecular tests to identify the cause of hepatitis more definitively
F (non specific)
what hepavirus
- Nonenveloped, single-stranded ribonucleic acid virus (ssRNA).
- Hepatovirus genus of the picornaviridae
- *Measures 27 nanometers.
HEPATITIS A VIRUS (HAV)
The first strain of Hepatovirus to be discovered—MS-1
