Methods 335 patients diagnosed with acute icteric hepatitis in Southwest Hospital were divided into hepatitis A (HA) group (n=100) and hepatitis E (HE) group (n=235). The clinical features (age, gender, season distribution, prodromal symptom) and laboratory data were analyzed retrospectively. The stratification analysis was performed in the two groups according to the degree of hepatic fibrosis (APRI ratio index), HBV infection and cirrhosis status. The risk factors affecting the outcome were analyzed by logistic regression analysis. Results The mean age of patients of HE group (43.8 15.4) was older than that of HA group (32.0 13.0, P=8.045 10-11 ). Male patients were predominant in the two groups, and male/female ratio was higher in HE group (P=2.139 10-4 ). High prevalence was found within the period of February to April. Except for a higher total bilirubin (Tbil) level (P<0.05) and lower incidence of fever, nausea and vomiting (P<0.05) in HE group, there was no difference in other clinical manifestations between the two groups. Compared with those without cirrhotic, cirrhosis patients co-infected with HA or HE showed an increased Tbil, decreased PTA and Alb, prolonged ALT and Tbil recovery time, higher incidence of hepatic decompensation and related complications, and higher mortality (P<0.05). Liver injury was more marked in patients with chronic liver disease who were infected with HAV or HEV with exacerbation of previous liver fibrosis.

726 军 杂 2014 9 1 39 9 Alcohol consumption, age and chronic HBV infection were risk factors for liver decompensation in patients with cirrhosis associated with HE. Conclusion Sporadic acute icteric HA and HE showed similar clinical features, but different in age distribution and jaundice index. Its coexistence with HA or HE can cause severe liver decompensation, the degree of which is associated with basal liver fibrosis status.
