| 설명 | 바이러스 간염의 한 형으로 급성 황색위축증이라고도 부른다. 간세포의 대부분이 괴사상태로 되며 환자는 보통 사망한다. 황달이 나타나기 전부터 이미 증상은 현저히 진행하여 황달의 출현도 빠르고, 급성 발열을 수반하며 점막이나 피하출혈을 볼 수 있다. 간의 압통을 수반하는 수도 있다. 위축에 의하여 간은 자주 작아진다. 최후에는 의식장애를 초래하여 졸음이 오고 혼미상태로 되며 간성혼수로 진행하여 사망하게 된다. 증상이 시작되어 2~3주 내에 간뇌병증까지 진행하는 간기능 상실을 전격성 간기능상실이라고 부르며, 진행 속도가 빠르지 않아서 3개월에 이르러 간기능상실에 빠지는 것은 아급성 간기능상실이라고 부른다. 모든 간염 바이러스가 모두 일으키지는 않는다. 간염A바이러스와 간염E바이러스는 보유자 상태나 만성 간염을 거의 일으키지 않는다. 기타 다른 감염 또는 비감염성 원인, 특히 약물과 독소도 본질적으로 동일한 증후를 일으킬 수 있다. 그러므로 바이러스성 간염의 진단과 각 간염 바이러스를 구별하는데는 혈청학적 검사가 필수적이다. |
