Atypical symptoms, especially immune complex disorders, are uncommonly reported with hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection. We report an 8-year-old child who contracted HAV infection complicated by cryoglobulinemic vasculitis, and responded well to oral steroids. HAV infection may be considered in the etiology of cryoglobulinemia in children.

Duck viral hepatitis (DVH) is a common and serious acute infectious disease that has a significantly impact on the duck farming industry. Duck hepatitis A virus type 3 (DHAV-3) is the major causative agent of DVH in East Asia. Host factor indicators of resistance to DHAV-3 in Pekin ducks were investigated using resistant (Z7R) and susceptible (Z7S) duck lines.

Hepatitis A virus (HAV), a major cause of acute liver infections, is transmitted through the fecal-oral route and close contact with infected individuals. Current HAV standardized methods rely on the detection of virus antigen or RNA, which do not differentiate between infectious and non-infectious HAV. The objective of this study was to develop a prototype cell-based electrochemical biosensor for detection of infectious HAV.

The picornavirus 3C protein plays a crucial role in viral infection. One of its functions is inhibiting the immune response by cleaving or degrading innate immune-related proteins to promote viral infection. Annexin A2 (ANXA2) is a multifunctional host protein that plays a key role in various cellular processes, it also participates in viral infection.

Infection with one or several of the five known hepatitis viruses is a leading cause of liver disease and poses a high risk of developing hepatocellular carcinoma upon chronic infection. Chronicity is primarily caused by hepatitis B virus (HBV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) and poses a significant health burden worldwide. Co-infection of chronic HBV infected patients with hepatitis D virus (HDV) is less common but is marked as the most severe form of chronic viral hepatitis.

Enterocytes are a necessary portal for fecal-oral transmission of viruses, including duck hepatitis A virus (DHAV), that act on the absorption of amino acids (AAs). We note that the rapid death of ducklings caused by DHAV is likely due to its rapid release from enterocytes. However, the underlying mechanism driving the release of DHAV remains poorly understood.
