Abstract
Acute viral hepatitisE (HEV) is generally mild and self-limiting and resolves within six weeks, with no chronic sequelae. Pregnant women are at increased risk with the risk increasing as the pregnancy progresses near term.We performed a prospective study of 100 patients who presented to Dept. of Pediatrics, RIMS,Raipur,CG,India-492001, with jaundice (IgM anti-HEV positive) during 2015-2016 and data were analyzed for the clinical profile and outcome of HEV.e most common age group affected was 05-10 years with overall M:F ratio of 3.4:1. Most common presenting symptom was jaundice (100%) followed by nausea/vomiting (87%). On presentation, serum bilirubin level was elevated in 89% patients with SGPT raised in 86%. PT was prolonged in 39% patients. Anemia (Hb < 7) was seen in 17% while 9% of patients had renal involvement. Hepatic encephalopathy was seen in 15%. Overall mortality was 7%.We found that majority of cases were cured with supportive treatment.
