Objective: To explore the etiology and clinical characters of hepatitis caused by non-hepatotropic virus.
Methods: 68 non-hepatotrophic viral hepatitis patients with negative anti-HAV-anti-HEV were diagnosed by detecting antibodies of anti-HSV IgM, anti-EBV IgM, anti-CMV IgM, anti-CSV IgM and anti-ANA, anti-mitochondrion antibody. Their clinical symptoms and signs were compared with that of acute viral hepatitis patients at the same time.
Results: Among the 68 patients, 9 were infected by HSV, 12 by EBV, 8 by CMV, 14 by CSV, and the other 13 patients and 12 patients were positive for anti-ANA and anti-mitochondrion antibody, respectively. 35 of 43 non-hepatotrophic viral hepatitis patients were infected in winter and spring season. Their clinical symptoms and signs were milder than that of acute viral hepatitis patients.
Conclusion: Liver damage and dysfunction may be the prominent phenomenon during HSV, EBV, CMV and CSV infection, just like that of acute viral hepatitis but with milder clinical symptom and signs.
