A variety of viral hemorrhagic fevers may also involve the liver; some of these viruses (e.g., Lassa fever, Ebola virus; see Chapters 37.2 and 37.4) may require strict isolation precautions if suspected. Herpesviruses not specific to the tropics (particularly cytomegalovirus and Epstein–Barr ...
having a median of 1565 (minimum: 9 and maximum: 4014) for AST and 1942 (minimum: 22 and maximum: 3950) for ALT.Conclusion: Discrimination between hepatitis A and B in acute phase using serum transaminase concentrations could be helpful to get isolation precautions and to plan supportive thera...
Here we present up-to-date clinical information on hepatotropic viruses including hepatitis A (HAV), B (HBV), C (HCV), D (HDV), and E (HEV) viruses as well as GB virus type C/hepatitis G virus (HGV) and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The incidence ...
This study was carried out to examine the feasibility of discrimination between hepatitis A and B in acute phase using serum transaminase concentrations so as to take isolation precautions and to plan supportive therapy in early phase. Methods: Between January 1996 and December...

The reinforcement of hygienic precautions and/ or isolation strategies was the main subsequent step taken by most HD units. Both incidence and prevalence of HCV then decreased substantially in most western HD units. Currently, incidence is much lower whereas prevalence is largely influenced by the ...
