dc.description.abstractAcute viral hepatitis is a worldwide health problem. Sixty-eight patients with acute viral hepatitis admitted to Harran University Hospital between March 2004 and March 2007 were included in this study. These patients were evaluated according to their age, gender, complaints, clinical findings, laboratory results and prognosis. Thirty-three (48.5%) of the cases were diagnosed as acute hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection, 22 (32.3%) as hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection, 9 (13.2%) as hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection, 2 (2.9%) as HBV and hepatitis D virus (HDV) co infection and 2 (2.9%) as HBV and HAV co infection. Mean age was 28.24 +/- 16.48 years and 34 (50%) of them were male. Two patients with acute HBV infection were pregnant at their 20 and 22nd weeks. The symptoms and signs of the patients at the hospital course were weakness (95.6%), jaundice (90.9%), dark urine (86.2%), anorexia (79.4%), nausea (64.7%), icterus (92.6%), hepatomegaly (38.2%), fever (35.3%) and splenomegaly (14.6%). The mean ALT level was 1418.4 +/- 999.7 U/L, AST level was 993.7 +/- 927.4 U/L and total bilirubin was 7.51 +/- 6.94 mg/dL. atypical clinical course was seen in three of the hepatitis a cases (9%); in one of them fulminan hepatic failure was developed and she has died. In 3 (13.6%) of the acute B cases HBsAg carrier stage was observed, all of the other cases showed seroconversion during follow up. In conclusion acute viral hepatitis infection is a global health problem associated with morbidity and mortality. Prevention of viral hepatitis relies on improvements in sanitation and vaccination for HAV and HBV infection.en_US
