| 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. |

| chronic persistent hepatitis | <pathology> A form of hepatitis usually caused by hepatitis C or B, that consists of mild persistent liver inflammation. Often a mild elevation of the liver enzymes will be seen on liver profile or SMAC 25 assay. Liver biopsy indicates persistent hepatitis. Incidence: 1 in 1,000. (02 Jan 1998) |
| chronic persisting hepatitis | A form of chronic hepatitis that is usually benign, not progressing to cirrhosis, and usually asymptomatic without physical findings but with continuing abnormalities of tests of liver status. Synonym: chronic persistent hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatitis b, chronic | An inflammatory disease of the liver caused by hepatitis b virus and lasting six months or more. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis c, chronic | An inflammatory disease of the liver caused by hepatitis c virus lasting six months or more. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis, chronic | A collective term for a clinical and pathological syndrome which has several causes and is characterised by varying degrees of hepatocellular necrosis and inflammation. Specific forms of chronic hepatitis include autoimmune hepatitis (hepatitis, autoimmune), chronic hepatitis b (hepatitis b, chronic), chronic hepatitis c (hepatitis c, chronic), chronic hepatitis d (hepatitis d, chronic), indeterminate chronic viral hepatitis, cryptogenic chronic hepatitis and drug-related chronic hepatitis (hepatitis, chronic, drug-induced). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis, chronic, drug-induced | An inflammatory disease of the liver, lasting six months or more, and caused by an adverse drug effect. The adverse effect may result from a direct toxic effect of a drug or metabolite, or an idiosyncratic response to a drug or metabolite. The clinical and histological changes can mimic viral or autoimmune hepatitis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis d, chronic | Inflammatory disease of the liver caused by hepatitis d virus in conjunction with hepatitis b virus and lasting six months or more. (12 Dec 1998) |
| acute viral conjunctivitis | An epidemic inflammation of the conjunctiva marked by follicles, especially in the lower fornix; may be caused by adenoviruses, herpesvirus, and Newcastle disease virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| antibodies, viral | Immunoglobulins produced as a response to viral antigens; includes all classes of immunoglobulins elicited by all viral components. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, viral | Substances elaborated by viruses that have antigenic activity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| antigens, viral, tumour | Those proteins recognised by antibodies from serum of animals bearing tumours induced by viruses; these proteins are presumably coded for by the nucleic acids of the same viruses that caused the neoplastic transformation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| avian viral arthritis virus | A virus of the genus Reovirus, family Reoviridae, causing tenosynovitis and arthritis in chickens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bronchiolitis, viral | An acute inflammatory disease of the upper respiratory tract, caused by paramyxoviruses, occurring primarily in infants and young children; the viruses most commonly implicated are parainfluenza type 3 and respiratory syncytial virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| gene expression regulation, viral | Any of the processes by which cytoplasmic factors influence the differential control of gene action in viruses. (12 Dec 1998) |
