A Surprising Case of Triple Acute Hepatitis Infection

Life (Basel). 2023 Aug 17;13(8):1761. doi: 10.3390/life13081761.

Abstract

Viral hepatitis continues to be the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, but the burden has significantly diminished thanks to the large-scale use of vaccines and antivirals. However, there are still challenges regarding viral hepatitis management, especially when more than one pathogenic agent is involved. We present the case of a 45-year-old woman who had a simultaneous infection involving three hepatitis viruses: HAV, HBV, and HEV.

Keywords: DNA HBV; acute exacerbation of chronic hepatitis B (AE-CHB); acute hepatitis HAV; acute hepatitis HBV (AHB); acute hepatitis HEV.
