Viral Hepatitis: Introduction
• Viral Hepatitis:
– Specific – Heptitis B, C, D (serum), A, E
– Non-Specific - Many viruses CMV, EBV, etc.
– Acute, Chronic (CPH, CAH), Fulminant.
• Specific viral hepatitis important cause of
morbidity & mortality.
• Horizontal transmission – Blood.. Sex.
• Vertical transmission – Mother to fetus.
• Hepatitis Cirrhosis Hepatic Ca. (not in A/E)
22. 22
Hepatitis A
• 'faecal-oral' spread, Travel / exposure.
• Relatively short incubation period (2-6wk)
• Epidemics common, may be sporadic.
• Direct cytopathic virus (immune in B & C)
• No carrier state – prolonged immunity.
• Usually mild illness, full recovery usual.
• Rarely – severe or fulminant.
• IgM Ab is diagnostic. (no IgG tests).
24. 24
History Hep B Virus:
• In 1965 - Dr. Blumberg who was
studying haemophilia, found an
antibody in two patients which reacted
against an antigen from an Australian
Aborigine. Later the antigen was found
in patients with serum type hepatitis and
was initially designated "Australia
Antigen". Later proved to be hepatitis B
virus surface antigen (HBsAg). Dr.
Blumberg was awarded the Nobel Prize
in 1976.
25. 25
Hepatitis B
• Spread by blood, Sex & birth (serum hepatitis..)
• Relatively long incubation period (4-26wk)
• liver damage by antiviral immune reaction
• Carrier & Chronic state exist.
• Relatively serious infection – chronic
• Complications: cirrhosis, carcinoma.
• Diagnosis: Viral serology (HBs, HBc & HBe)
IgM anti-HAV
antibody
Acute Hepatitis A
HBsAg Hepatitis B or
carrier – exp./inf.
HBeAg Active hepatitis B
infection
Anti-HCV antibody Hepatitis C virus
exposure
HCV RNA Active hepatitis C
infection
26. 26
Viral Hepatitis B: Serology
Sequence of serologic markers for hepatitis B viral hepatitis demonstrating (A)
acute infection with resolution and (B) progression to chronic infection.
36. 36
Fulminant Hepatitis:
• Hepatic failure with in 2-3 weeks.
• Reactivation of chronic or acute hepatitis
• Massive necrosis, shrinkage, wrinkled
• Collapsed reticulin network
• Only portal tracts visible
• Little or massive inflammation – time
• More than a week – regenerative activity
• Complete recovery – or - cirrhosis.

(Present) with which you can make your future & past memorable.

46. Drug Induced Zonal Hepatitis:
46
• Autopsy specimen in a case of
acetaminophen (paracetamol /
NSAID) overdose.
• Prominent hemorrhagic necrosis
of the centrilobular zones of all
liver lobules.
• greater activity of drug-
metabolizing enzymes in the
central zones.
• Other agents that produce such
injury are carbon tetrachloride,
toxins of the mushroom Amanita
phalloides.
• Patients either die in acute
hepatic failure or recover without
sequelae.
47. Autoimmune Hepatitis:
47
• Clinical & pathology similar
to Chronic hepatitis.
• Female predominance
(70%)
• Elevated serum IgG
• High titers of
autoantibodies.
• Autoimmune diseases.
48. Reye Syndrome:
48
• Acute disease of children
• Following a febrile
illness, commonly
influenza or varicella
infection with use of
aspirin.
• Microvesicular
steatosis, hepatic
failure, and
encephalopathy.
• Cerebral edema and fat
accumulation in the brain.
• Pathogenesis remains
unknown (Aspirin..)
Fat stain (oil-red o)
49. Toxemia of Pregnancy:
49
• Abnormal LFT in 3-5% of preg.
• Acute Fatty Liver of Pregnancy
• Intrahepatic Cholestasis of Preg.
• Hypertension, proteinuria, edema
and coagulation abnormalities
(pre-eclampsia) with convulsions
& coma (eclampsia).
• HELLP syndrome
(hemolysis, elevated liver enz. &
low plt).
• Patchy hemorrhages over
capsule, DIC
• Fibrin thrombi in portal vessels.
• Hepatocellular necrosis.

Alcoholic Liver Injury: Pathogenesis
• Diversion of fat metabolism
to alcohol – fat storage.
• Acetaldehyde – hepatotoxic
– denatures Proteins
• Increased peripheral release
of fatty acids.
• Alcohol stimulates collagen
synthesis
• Mutant ALDH2 gene with
low activity enzyme is
observed in Caucasians but
is found in some 40% of
Orientals (autosomal
dominant).
Acetaldehyde
96. 96
Alcoholic Liver Injury: Complications
• Pancreatitis – Acute or Chronic. Due to
ischemic damage to pancreas.
• Alcoholic hepatitis – similar to viral hepatitis.
• Fulminant hepatitis
• Alcoholic Cirrhosis – Micronodular.

Diagnosis pathway:
• Jaundice?
– Mild increase, Mixed (combined)
• Synthesis?
– Total protein, albumin – Low & PT abnormal.
• Obstruction & Bilirubin Clearance ?
– Alk Phos is up a bit – but not high – some obstruction.
• Hepatocyte Direct Injury:
– ALT & AST are up a bit, but not dramatically.
• Discussion:
– Chronic Mild compromise - chronic Active
hepatitis. (In CPH LFT will be normal)
ALT: 52
AST: 58
Alk Phos: 150
Bilirubin 3.9 (direct 1.8)
111. 111
• 28y Male, 3 weeks after visiting east
Timor, presents with malaise, fatigue, loss
of appetite. Mild icterus. AST & ALT mild
elevation. Total bil 3.9mg/dl (Direct 2.8).
