Viral Hepatitis: Overview

00:01 Summary of some key features from all Hepatitis A through E.

00:05 Let's walk through your table here.

00:07 So that you're clear.

00:08 A through E is where we are in this table. So another key table for you to extract from my lectures, so that you're clear about how to approach viral hepatitides.

00:19 Genome type, Hepatitis A, single stranded RNA.

00:24 Hepatitis B, double stranded DNA.

00:27 Hepatitis C, single stranded RNA.

00:30 Hepatitis D, single stranded RNA.

00:33 D cannot exist or should I say, that D, when associated with B, will then bring about Fulminant hepatitis.

00:43 And E, single stranded RNA. You think E, where are you? Indian subcontinent, Mexico and pregnancy dropped at the bottom Hepatitis E please.

00:55 Twenty percent mortality in pregnancy.

00:59 Sexual transmission.

01:01 Three of these will do that, B, C and D.

01:06 Fecal-oral, A and E.

01:10 Parenteral transmission, you sure thinking about B and D.

01:16 Parenteral transmission, transfusions very rare.

01:19 Chronic hepatitis, we have majority of your chronicity will be dealing with Hepatitis C.

01:26 When it comes to Hepatitis D, 90% with super-infection, super-infection with which are of Hepatitis B.

01:34 Fulminant.

01:36 Rare from any of these.

01:38 A little bit more of Hepatitis D and definitely 1% only with Hepatitis E with that pregnancy.

01:45 With pregnancy, this jumps up to 20%.

01:49 Important tables that you want to extract from my lectures to make sure that you have a full story of what's going on with viral hepatitis.

01:57 And eventually, make sure that you take a look at the micro, in which you've been explained very clearly as with the vaccination regimen especially for Hepatitis B please.
