waterbourne
- is acute and self limiting in adults
- can be asymptomatic in children
HAV
A= acute, asymptomatic
- intially presents like serum sickness (fever, arthralgias, rash)
- may progress to carcinoma
2
HBV, HDV
may progress to cirrhoisis or carcinoma
HCV
C=cirrhosis, carcinoma
fulminant hepatitis in pregnant patients
HEV
E=expectant mothers
high mortality in pregnant patients
HEV
pose of risk of progressing to HCC
3
HBV
HCV
HDV
adults mostly experience full resolutions, but neonates have a far worse prognosis
HBV
HDV after HBV is called
superinfection
poor prognosis
HDV with HBV is called
coinfection
biopsy shows
- hepatocyte swelling
- monocyte infiltration
- coucilman bodies
HAV
biopsy shows
- granular eosinophilic “ground glass” appearance
- cytotoxic T cells
2
HBV, HDV
biopsy shows
lymphoid aggregates with focal areas of macrovesicular steatosis
HCV
biopsy shows
patchy necrosis
HEV
which hepatitis virus does not have a carrier state?
2
HAV, HEV
A= absent carrier state
carrier states are common for which hepatitis viruses?
2
HBV, HCV
depends on HBV HBsAg coat for entry into hepatocytes
HDV
D= depends on
- enteric
- endemic to Asia, Africa, Middle east
HEV
E= enteric, endemic
lack an envelope and are not destroyed by the gut
HAV, HEV
vowels hit your bowels
can manifest in aplastic anemia
Hepatitis B
can manifest in membranous glomerulonephritis
HBV
can manifest in polyarteritis nodosa
HBV
can manifest in essential mixed cryoglobulinemia, increased risk of B cell NHL, ITP, and hemolytic anemia
HCV
can manifest in membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis
HCV
can manifest in leukocytoclastic vasculitis
HCV
can manifest in spontaneous cutanea tarda (porhyria), or lichen planus
HCV
increases the risk of DM and autoimmune hypothyroidism
HCV
which hepatitis viruses have a vaccine available?
A
B
E- in China
what hepatic viruses manifest in chronic infection?
B
C
D- yes superinfection
what hepatic viruses are spread fecal-orally?
A
E
treatment for hepatitis A
supportive
treatment for hepatitis E
supportive
presents with nausea, vomiting, RUQ pain, increased bilirubin
acute or chronic
acute
presents with fever, fatigue, weight loss, or may be asymptomatic
acute or chronic
chronic
associated with a 100x increased risk of HCC
hep B
best test to detect acute hepatitis A
Anti-HAV (IgM)
indicates prior HAV infection and/or prior vaccination; protects against reinfection
Anti-HAV (IgG)
antigen found on surface of HBV
indicates HBV infection
HBsAg
indicates immunity to HBV due to vaccination or recovery from infection
anti-HBs
antigen associated with core of HBV
HBcAg
indicates acute/recent HBV infection
Anti-HBc (IgM)
indicates prior or chronic HBV infection
anti-HBc (IgG)
- secreted by infected hepatocyte into circulation
- indicates active viral replication, higher transmissibility and poorer prognosis
HBeAg
antibody to HBeAg, indicates low transmissability

first line treatment for HBV
2
- entecavir
- tenofovir
the ultimate goal of HBV treatment is to become […] negative
HBsAg
why are immune modulators not preffered for HBV treatment
terrible flu-like side effects
strongly discouraged treatment for HIV/HBV coinfection
lamivudine
masks as a lipoprotein particle
Hep C
treatment for HCV must include one from each of the following classes
- NS3/4A inhibitors (-previr)
- NS5A inhibitors (-asvir)
- NS5B inhibitors (-buvir)
coinfection vs superinfection
- severe acute disease
- low risk of chronic infection
coinfection
coinfection vs superinfection
HBV and HDV at same time
coinfection
coinfection vs superinfection
HDV after HBV
superinfection
coinfection vs superinfection
- usually develop chronic HDV infection
- high risk of severe chronic liver disease
- may present as acute hepatitis
superinfection
treatment for HDV
pegylated interferon alpha
immune modulators
in an acute HBV infection, […] appears concurrently with clearance of […] from the serum
- anti-HBsAg
- HBsAg
[…] does not develop in patients chronically infected with HBV
anti-HBsAg
what is the next best step for a person exposed to HAV?
go to local health department to receive IG
a HBV/HDV coinfection or superinfection leads to a greater chance of developing
fulminant hepatitis

HAV IgM +
acute hepatitis A
HAV IgG +
previous HAV infection or vaccination
infection with […] results in lifelong immunity
HAV
period in infection when neither HBsAg or anti-HBsAg is detectable in serum
window period
[…] must be obtained to differentiate etiologies of viral hepatitis
serologies
associated with development of HCC
HCV
HBV
defective virus found only in people infected with HBV
