Hepatitis Flashcards
What is the 5 causes of viral hepatitis
- Hepatitis A to E
- Yellow fever
- HSV
- CMV
- EBV
What is the effect of a lipid envelope
A lipid envelope makes a virus less stable & get killed easily

3-6 days
What is the 4 complications of yellow fever
Haemorrhage
Fever
Shock
Coagulopathy
What is the treatment of yellow fever
Supportive treatment
What is the prevention of yellow fever
Vaccine (live attenuated vaccine)
What is the phases of clinical hepatitis
Prodormal phase: anorexia, malaise, fatigue, liver inflammation, RUQ pain, s-sickness
Icteric phase: RUQ pain, fatigue, N, V, fever, hepatomegaly, jaundice causing dark urine & paller stool, anorexia & rash
Recovery

What enzyme is used for replication in hepatitis B
Reverse transcriptase
What is the 5 HBV proteins produced
- X
- Polymerase
- HBsAg: viral envelope & produced in excess for spread
- HBcAg: core
- HBeAg: non structural immunomodulatory protein
Is hepatitis A acute or chronic & what is the symptoms at each phase
Acute
Asymptomatic or symptomatic (more common in adults) as viral gastroenteritis or RTI
Is hepatitis E acute or chronic & what is the symptoms at each phase
Acute: asymptomatic or symptomatic (more common in adults) as viral gastroenteritis or RTI
Chronic: immunocompromised people causing fever, LOA & fatigue
Is hepatitis C acute or chronic & the symptoms associated with each phase
Acute: asymptomatic or symptomatic (more common in adults) as viral gastroenteritis or RTI
Chronic: asymptomatic w/ flares until end stage liver disease
Is hepatitis D acute or chronic & the symptoms associated with each phase
Chronic as it is co-infected w/ hepatitis B
Is hepatitis B acute or chronic & the symptoms associated with each phase
Acute
Chronic
