Thirteen of the 35 patients (37.4%) are diagnosed as Hepatitis A (HAV) infection, and 22 (62.6%) of them are diagnosed as Hepatitis B (HBV) infection.

However, due to persistent worsening of skin lesions and falling cell counts, pulsed dexamethasone was initiated which showed improvement in the skin lesions, cell counts, proteinuria and pleural effusion but there was a persistent fall in the haemoglobin.
