Hepatitis 89-90 Flashcards
Differential Dx Hepatitis
Hep A, B, C EtOH injury Drug induced Gallstone Amebic bacterial abscess Viral Causes
Fecal Oral Hepatitis Viruses
HAV
HEV
Blood Borne Hepatits Viruses
HBV
HCV
HDV
OUtcomes of hepatitis
- anicteric
- icteric w/ resolution
- Fulminant
- Chronic
Hep A virus
Picornaviridae Small + sense naked ss RNA icosahedreal capsid cap proteins bind hepatocytes RESISTANT TO HARSH Structural and non structural genes
HAV Epidemiology
Fecal Oral
Shed 2 weeks before
Continues 2 weeks after jaundice
Restaurant, daycare, shellfish, contaminated H2O
HAV clinical
Acute Hepatitis 2-4 weeks incubation Abrupt onset Virus detectable prior to symptoms IgM first IgG next
Initial symptoms HAV
fever, loss appetite, abdominal pain
Later symptoms HAV
Dark Urine, Pale stool, Jaundice, pruitice 4-5 weeks long
HAV pathogenesis
Fecal Oral Internalized by hepatocytes released in bile and GI Humoral and CMI response Non perm damage ADCC and CTL jaundice, urine, stool bcuz of liver damage
HAV OUTCOME
Mild disease, complete recovery 99%
Fulminant hepatitis rare
NOT CHRONIC
LIFE LONG IMMUNITY
HAV Treatment
Post exposure prophylaxis, immune globulin
HAVE Prevention
Sanitation
Vaccine
HAVRIX Vaqta
Twinrix– HAV+HBV
HEV
Hepeviridae Small + naked ssRNA icosahedral capsid Cytoplasmic Replication 3 ORF
HEV Epidemiology
Fecal Oral
Mimics HAV
Higer fatality than HAV
Inadequate water supply and enviromental sanitation
HEV Clinical Features
Acute Hepatitis
2-8 week incubation
ABRUPT
HEV Pathogenesis
Fecal Oral
Both Humoral and CMI
Jaundice bcuz of damage
HEV Diagnosis
Mimics HAV
HEV Treatment and Prevention
Symptomatic
Prevention: Sanitation, recomb vaccine
