| hepatitis D virus | A small "defective" RNA virus, similar to viroids and virusoids, that requires the presence of hepatitis B virus for replication. The clinical course is variable but is usually more severe than other hepatitides. Synonym: hepatitis delta virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| 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) |
| hepatitis d, e, f, and g | Lesser known (than hepatitis a, b, and c), the most significant of these seems to be type d, or the delta agent, which only causes disease in the presence of the hepatitis b virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis delta | <virology> Hepatitis delta is a severe form of hepatitis which arose recently. It is caused by a combination of the delta virus (a defective virus) and the virus which causes hepatitis B. (09 Oct 1997) |
| hepatitis delta virus | A defective virus, containing particles of RNA nucleoprotein in virion-like form, present in patients with acute hepatitis b and chronic hepatitis. Officially this is classified as a subviral satellite RNA (RNA, satellite). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis E | <virology> This represents a form of viral hepatitis that cannot be determined to be hepatitis A, B, C or D through testing. (27 Sep 1997) |
| hepatitis e virus | A positive-stranded RNA virus species in the genus calicivirus, causing enterically-transmitted non-a, non-b hepatitis (hepatitis e). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis externa | Inflammation of the serous, or peritoneal, covering of the liver. Synonym: hepatic capsulitis, hepatitis externa, hepatoperitonitis. Origin: peri-+ G. Hepar, liver, + -itis, inflammation (05 Mar 2000) |
| hepatitis non-A, non-B | <virology> A virus somewhat similar in size to Hepatitis A but has no antigenic cross reaction with either A or B. Many of the cases are in fact hepatitis C and this was the old term for hepatitis C. (20 Sep 2002) |
| hepatitis virus, duck | An enterovirus with high mortality that attacks ducklings 3 days to 3 weeks old. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis viruses | Any of the viruses that cause inflammation of the liver. They include both DNA and RNA viruses as well viruses from humans and animals. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis, alcoholic | An acute or chronic degenerative and inflammatory lesion of the liver in the alcoholic which is potentially progressive though sometimes reversible. It does not necessarily include steatosis, fibrosis, or cirrhosis of alcoholics, although it is frequently associated with these conditions. It is characterised by liver cell necrosis, infiltration by polymorphonuclear leukocytes and lymphocytes, and mallory bodies. The morphologic changes of chronic alcoholic hepatitis are not likely to be confused with chronic hepatitis (hepatitis, chronic). (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis, autoimmune | An unresolving, predominately periportal, hepatitis, usually with hypergammaglobulinaemia and serum autoantibodies. The existence of subgroups (types 1, 2, and 3) based on serological findings are controversial. Additionally, some patients have variant forms, where there are features associated with both autoimmune hepatitis and another type of chronic liver disease (overlap syndromes) or where there are findings incompatible with autoimmune hepatitis (outlier syndromes). (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) |
| 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) |
|---|---|
| mouse hepatitis | A form of hepatitis in mice due to synergism between the mouse hepatitis virus and Eperythrozoon coccoides. Synonym: murine hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| mouse hepatitis virus | A coronavirus, in the family Coronaviridae, that in the presence of Eperythrozoon coccoides causes fatal hepatitis in newly weaned mice; otherwise causes inapparent infection. (05 Mar 2000) |
| plasma cell hepatitis | <pathology> A type of chronic active hepatitis that results from circulating auto-antibodies and chronic inflammation of the liver. Symptoms are those of chronic active hepatitis. (27 Sep 1997) |
| MS-1 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) |
| murine hepatitis | A form of hepatitis in mice due to synergism between the mouse hepatitis virus and Eperythrozoon coccoides. Synonym: murine hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| halothane hepatitis | Hepatocellular damage said to result from the administration of halothane anaesthesia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| serum hepatitis | <virology> A form of viral hepatitis, known as serum hepatitis, because it is commonly spread through contact with infected blood products (transfusion). May also be spread sexually or from mother to infant. Hepatitis B can cause a much more severe infection than hepatitis A and can occur as an asymptomatic carrier state, a chronic infection or as cirrhosis of the liver. Those at risk (IV drug abusers, health care workers, dialysis patients, transfusion recipients, homosexuals) should be immunised with hepatitis B vaccine. The virus is 42nm diameter, with an outer sheath enclosing inner 27nm core particle containing the circular viral DNA. Aggregates of the envelope proteins are found in plasma and are referred to as hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg, previously called Australia antigen). The virus can persist for long periods (and in asymptomatic carriers), association of integrated virus with hepatocellular carcinoma is now well established. (27 Sep 1997) |
| serum hepatitis virus | The type species of the genus orthohepadnavirus which causes human hepatitis b and is also apparently a causal agent in human hepatocellular carcinoma. The dane particle is an intact hepatitis virion, named after its discoverer. Non-infectious spherical and tubular particles are also seen in the serum. (12 Dec 1998) |
| short incubation 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) |
| NANB hepatitis | Hepatitis caused by two or more infectious agents not detectable by methods that reveal the presence of hepatitis viruses A and B; one cause, now called type C hepatitis has been identified; may follow blood transfusion and is often seen in chronic renal dialysis patients. Synonym: NANB hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| neonatal hepatitis | Hepatitis in the neonatal period presumed to be due to a variety of causes, chiefly viral; characterised by direct and indirect bilirubinaemia, hepatocellular degeneration, and appearance of multinucleated giant cells; may be difficult to distinguish from biliary atresia, but is more likely to end with recovery, although cirrhosis may develop. Synonym: giant cell hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| subacute 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) |
| non-A, non-B hepatitis | Hepatitis caused by two or more infectious agents not detectable by methods that reveal the presence of hepatitis viruses A and B; one cause, now called type C hepatitis has been identified; may follow blood transfusion and is often seen in chronic renal dialysis patients. Synonym: NANB hepatitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| non-A, non-B hepatitis virus | Term used to group any of a number of viruses, other than A or B, which cause hepatitis in humans. (05 Mar 2000) |
