Grupo de doenças hepáticas caracterizadas por inflamação e fibrose hepática, causada por menos de 6 meses de infecção com um ou mais vírus da hepatite B, vírus da hepatite C e vírus da hepatite D, com ou sem HIV. Mesmo na fase de cirrose, muitas vezes não há sintomas. De outra forma, as características clínicas incluem fadiga, endurecimento da borda do fígado e complicações da cirrose (atrofia muscular, ascite, esplenomegalia/hipertensão portal). A transmissão dos vírus de hepatite B e C ocorre por contaminação com sangue e fluidos corporais, transmissão sexual e da mãe para o bebê no momento do nascimento (transmissão vertical). Além da detecção de antígenos específicos (HBsAg) e anticorpos (anti-HCV), a avaliação diagnóstica exige teste de detecção de ácidos nucléicos virais (DNA de HBV, RNA de HCV etc). | |||

A group of liver diseases characterised by liver inflammation and fibrosis, caused by less than 6 months of infection with one or more of hepatitis B virus, hepatitis C virus and hepatitis D virus, with or without HIV. Even at stage of cirrhosis there are often no symptoms. Otherwise, clinical features include fatigue, hard liver edge and complications of cirrhosis (muscle wasting, ascites, splenomegaly/portal hypertension). Transmission of hepatitis B and C viruses is by blood and body fluid contamination, sexual transmission, and from mother to baby at the time of birth (vertical transmission). In addition to detection of specific antigens (HBsAg) and antibodies (anti-HCV), diagnostic assessment requires assay of viral nucleic acids (HBV DNA, HCV RNA etc). | |||
