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, partial right? single stranded, partial DNA. 00:36 D cannot exist or should I say, that D, when associated with B, will then bring about Fulminant hepatitis. 00:45 And E, single stranded RNA. You think E, where are you? Indian subcontinent, Mexico and pregnancy dropped at the bottom Hepatitis E please. 00:57 Twenty percent mortality in pregnancy. 01:02 Sexual transmission. 01:04 Three of these will do that, B, C and D. 01:08 Fecal-oral, A and E. 01:13 Parenteral transmission, you sure thinking about B and D. 01:19 Parenteral transmission, transfusions very rare. 01:22 Remember the tennis player back in the day. Maybe perhaps if you're a tennis player, or know, with Arthur Ashe, unfortunately with blood transfusion, ended up acquiring Hepatitis C. 01:35 Chronic hepatitis, we have majority of your chronicity will be dealing with Hepatitis C. 01:42 When it comes to Hepatitis D, 90% with super-infection, super-infection with which are of Hepatitis B. 01:50 Fulminant. 01:52 Rare from any of these. 01:54 A little bit more of Hepatitis D and definitely 1% only with Hepatitis E with that pregnancy. 02:01 With pregnancy, this jumps up to 20%. 02:05 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. 02:12 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.
The lecture Viral Hepatitis: Overview by Carlo Raj, MD is from the course Cirrhosis – Liver Diseases.
