Viral Hepatitis I/II Flashcards
hepatitis leads to failure to excrete _____
bilirubin –> jaundice
prodrome
2-10 days
flu-like, fever, N/V
HAV in children presentation
mild, non-specific sx
infection often not diagnosed
HBV extra-hepatic manifestations
skin rash
arthritis
glomerulonephritis
cyroglobulinemia
jaundice is minimal in H__
HCV
transaminase elevations may be <500-1000 in H__
HCV
most common acute hepatitis
HBV
most common chronic hepatitis
HCV
HAV
- picornavirus, ssRNA
- enteric, fecal-oral
- endemic in developing countries
- incubation: 4 weeks (SHORT)
- self-limited infection (no chronic)
- vaccine >90% efficacious
self-limiting (no chronic disease) hepatitides
HAV
HEV
HAV pre-exposure prophylaxis
HAV vaccine at 0 and 6 mo
immunity in ~3wk after first vax
HAV post-exposure prophylaxis
within 2 weeks of exposure
single dose of HAV vaccine or IgM dependent on age
HEV
- ssRNA
- enteric, feca-oral
- asia, Middle East, N. Africa
- genotypes 1 and 2
- incubation- 4 weeks (SHORT)
- self-limited
enteric viruses
HAV
HEV
(vowel=bowel)
HEV vs. HAV
HEV
- acute hepatitis in young adults
- zoonotic w/ reservoirs in swine (genotypes 3 and 4
- no vaccine commercially available
- cases of chronic infection reported in immunosuppressed hosts
HBV transmission
-blood borne (IDU, sex, HIV coinfection, med equipment, VERTICAL TRANSMISSION 90% if mother has HBV in 3rd trimester, hemodialysis, correctional facilities
HBV inculation
2-3 mo. (LONG)
Out comes of HBV w/ %
90% –> RECOVERY (anti-HBs+)
10% –> chronic (HBsAg+)
1% fulminant hepatitis
risk of hepatocellular CA
chronic HBV or HCV
viral replication (HBV-DNA + or HCV-RNA +)
HBV pre-exposure prophylacis
vaccine at 0,1,6 mo.
recombinant HBsAg so vaccinated pt has protective Ab, anti-HBs
acute HBV exposure
- pre-exposure-HBV Ig +HBV vaccine for intimate contacts only
- acute exposure - infants: HBIg + HBV vaccine started <12 hr after birth, + antivirals for mom
- chronic exposure- HBV vaccine
chronic HBV infection
immune active phase
HBsAg +
HBV-DNA +
high ALT
fibrosis and inflammation on liver biopsy
–> TREAT
HBV tx
lamivudine (RESISTANCE)
endeavor
tenofovir
combos
not curative
