| 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) |
| hepatitis, infectious | See Hepatitis A. (12 Dec 1998) |
| hepatitis, infectious canine | An adenovirus infection causing fever, oedema, vomiting, and diarrhoea in dogs, especially puppies. In foxes it causes acute encephalitis with convulsions, paralysis, coma, and death. (12 Dec 1998) |
