|---|---|
| virus A hepatitis | A virus disease with a short incubation period (usually 15 to 50 days), caused by hepatitis A virus, a member of the family Picornaviridae, often transmitted by faecal-oral route; may be inapparent, mild, severe, or occasionally fatal and occurs sporadically or in epidemics, commonly in school-age children and young adults; necrosis of periportal liver cells with lymphocytic and plasma cell infiltration is characteristic and jaundice is a common symptom. Synonym: epidemic hepatitis, hepatitis A, infectious hepatitis, MS-1 hepatitis, short incubation hepatitis, virus A hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus B hepatitis | A virus disease with a long incubation period (usually 50 to 160 days), caused by hepatitis B virus, a DNA virus and member of the family Hepadnoviridae, usually transmitted by injection of infected blood or blood derivatives or by use of contaminated needles, lancets, or other instruments; clinically and pathologically similar to viral hepatitis type A, but there is no cross-protective immunity; HBsAg is found in the serum and the hepatitis delta virus occurs in some patients. Synonym: hepatitis B, serum hepatitis, transfusion hepatitis, virus B hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus C hepatitis | Principal cause of non-A, non-B posttransfusion hepatitis caused by an RNA virus that may be related to Flaviviridae family. Synonym: hepatitis C, virus C hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| virus hepatitis | Liver inflammation caused by viruses. Specific hepatitis viruses have been labelled a, b, c, d, e, f, and g. While other viruses can also cause hepatitis, their primary target is not the liver. (12 Dec 1998) |
| virus hepatitis of ducks | A disease of very young ducklings, caused by the duck hepatitis virus (family Hepadnoviridae) and manifested as an acute illness of several days followed by death; the principal lesions are an enlarged necrotic liver filled with ecchymotic haemorrhages. (05 Mar 2000) |
| peliosis hepatitis | A rare condition in which the liver contains very numerous small blood-filled spaces, sometimes lined with endothelium; it may be found incidentally or rupture may cause intraperitoneal haemorrhage. (05 Mar 2000) |
| goose viral hepatitis | An acute, highly fatal disease of goslings and Muscovy ducklings caused by the goose parvovirus and characterised by anorexia, feather loss, and tissue haemorrhages. Synonym: Derzsy's disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| persistent chronic hepatitis | A benign chronic hepatitis that may follow acute viral hepatitis A or B, or complicate bowel diseases; after six months, liver biopsy changes are mild, unlike active chronic hepatitis; rarely, if ever, progresses to cirrhosis, portal hypertension, or liver failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholangiolitic hepatitis | Hepatitis with inflammatory changes around small bile ducts, producing mainly obstructive jaundice; may be due to viral infection or bacterial infection ascending biliary tree because of obstruction. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cholestatic hepatitis | Jaundice with bile stasis in inflamed intrahepatic bile ducts; usually due to toxic effects of a drug. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic active hepatitis | <pathology> This is a form of continuing liver inflammation that results in liver cell death. Causes include viral infection (hepatitis D, hepatitis B, hepatitis C), autoimmune disease, drug ingestion or metabolic causes. Chronic active hepatitis will lead to hepatic failure and death in a small percentage of these patients. (27 Sep 1997) |
| chronic hepatitis | Any of several types of hepatitis persisting for more than six months, often progressing to cirrhosis. Synonym: chronic active liver disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic interstitial hepatitis | An obsolete term for cirrhosis of the liver. (05 Mar 2000) |
| 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) |
| hepatitis C |
A viral hepatitis caused by the Hepatitis C-virus, a Flaviviridae-virus. The transmission route is parenteral. A fulminant course is rare but the disease is very often chronic, causing liver cirrhosis and an elevated risk of liver cancer. The disease can easily be avoided by avoiding blood contact with infected people (for example dirty needles). No vaccine is available against Hepatitis C.

| hepatitis C |
a contagious viral disease that causes inflammation of the liver. A chronic carrier state occurs in some individuals and may result in life-threatening liver damage, cirrhosis, and/or liver cancer. HCV is spread mainly via contaminated blood products or shared needles. There is no standard treatment or vaccine.

| hepatitis C |
A virus usually spread by blood transfusion or intravenous drug use. Other risk factors for the transmission of hepatitis C include tattoos and sexual contact. In the past, hepatitis C was described Non-A Non-B hepatitis or transfusion associated hepatitis. At present, there are 4 million cases in the United States. It represent an epidemic and is the leading cause of liver transplantation in the United States.

is caused by the hepatitis C virus (HCV). Hepatitis C virus is carried in the blood of people infected with the virus. It is primarily spread through contact with infected blood. It can occasionally be spread other ways. HCV can be spread by:

virus spread by blood transfusion and possibly by sexual intercourse or sharing needles with infected people. Hepatitis C may lead to cirrhosis and liver cancer. Hepatitis C used to be called non-A, non-B hepatitis.
