Digestive system PITTSBURGH, Pennsylvania (AP) The number of cases of hepatitis A linked to a Mexican restaurant rose to 530 Wednesday, but state health officials said the outbreak has slowed considerably since last week, when dozens of new cases were being reported daily. Secretary of Health Calvin Johnson said officials still haven't determined whether tainted green onions are behind the outbreak at the Chi-Chi's restaurant, but were continuing to investigate. Although at least one person reported contracting the disease after eating at the Beaver Valley Mall restaurant northwest of Pittsburgh as early as September 20, hundreds of cases have been linked to people who ate there in the first week of October, officials said.

Hepatitis A virus is usually spread from person to person. People get hepatitis A infection by putting something in the mouth that has been contaminated with the stool of an infected person.

Persons with hepatitis A can also spread the virus to household members and to sex partners. In rare cases, people have been infected after getting a transfusion of infected blood. Outbreaks of hepatitis A have also occurred among illegal drug users. The virus is not spread by casual contact, as in the usual work or school setting.

West Nile Virus (Vestnil feber) Vælg rejsemål Hepatitis A (smitsom leverbetændelse) Infektionen er meget udbredt udenfor de industrialiserede lande, og i ulandene bliver de fleste børn smittet i de første leveår. Risko for almindelige turistrejser er ca. 1 per 50 rejsende per måned. Smitte Virus findes i tarmen hos mennesker og overføres gennem drikkevand og mad forurenet med afføring, fx. kloakvand. Vaccination eller gammaglobulin? Man kan beskytte sig mod smitsom leverbetændelse med gammaglobulin (kortvarig, højst 5 måneder) eller en vaccine (langtidsbeskyttelse, 20 år). Gammaglobulin er antistoffer oprenset fra plasma fra mennesker og giver kun en kortvarig beskyttelse. Gammaglobulin kan gives i tre doser på 2, 3 og 5 ml, der beskytter i 1, 3 og 5 måneder. Der har været en diskussion om sikkerheden ved gammaglobulin, fordi det er oprenset fra blod. Der er dog aldrig påvist at nogle sygdomme kan overføres med gammaglobulin til injektion, men teoretisk kan BSE overføres.

Hepatitis Series : Chronic Hepatitis C Chronic Hepatitis C: Current Disease Management On this page: Introduction Risk Factors and Transmission Clinical Symptoms and Signs Serologic Tests ... Patient Education Materials Introduction The hepatitis C virus (HCV) is one of the most important causes of chronic liver disease in the United States. It accounts for about 15 percent of acute viral hepatitis, 60 to 70 percent of chronic hepatitis, and up to 50 percent of cirrhosis, end-stage liver disease, and liver cancer. Almost 4 million Americans, or 1.8 percent of the U.S. population, have antibody to HCV (anti-HCV), indicating ongoing or previous infection with the virus. Hepatitis C causes an estimated 10,000 to 12,000 deaths annually in the United States. A distinct and major characteristic of hepatitis C is its tendency to cause chronic liver disease. At least 75 percent of patients with acute hepatitis C ultimately develop chronic infection, and most of these patients have accompanying chronic liver disease. Chronic hepatitis C varies greatly in its course and outcome. At one end of the spectrum are patients who have no signs or symptoms of liver disease and completely normal levels of serum liver enzymes. Liver biopsy usually shows some degree of chronic hepatitis, but the degree of injury is usually mild, and the overall prognosis may be good. At the other end of the spectrum are patients with severe hepatitis C who have symptoms, HCV RNA in serum, and elevated serum liver enzymes, and who ultimately develop cirrhosis and end-stage liver disease. In the middle of the spectrum are many patients who have few or no symptoms, mild to moderate elevations in liver enzymes, and an uncertain prognosis.

Classification hepatotrophic virus Description Hepatitis A (HAV) HAV usually isn't serious. It is transmitted through oral-fecal contact (rimming, eating contaminated raw food). Hepatitis B (HBV) More than 80% of those with HIV are infected with HBV. The reason is that HBV infects in the same way HIV infects through body fluids (semen, blood). HBV is likely to be chronic (not curable). Hepatitis C (HCV) Hemophiliacs and IV drug users (IDU) are the more likely to have HCV than gay/bisexual men. HCV causes serious liver problems (cirrhosis, liver failure). About half of the HCV cases are chronic (not curable). Being HIV+ can make HCV infection more dangerous than it otherwise might be.
