“…It has been reported that hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is associated with acute acalculous cholecystitis in children and adults [56,57]. In these cases, higher elevations of the ALT levels of more than 500 IU/L are occasionally observed [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69].…”

“…In these cases, higher elevations of the ALT levels of more than 500 IU/L are occasionally observed [58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66][67][68][69]. Cholestasis is likely to be associated with HAV infection [57]. HBV and hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections also cause acute acalculous cholecystitis [70,71], occasionally leading to higher elevations of the ALT levels of more than 500 IU/L [71].…”

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) genotypes 3 and 4 are zoonotic strains that are primarily transmitted through the consumption of undercooked pork or game meat. They also cause asymptomatic infections, acute hepatitis, acute-on-chronic liver failure, chronic hepatitis, and extrahepatic manifestations. Here, we report a man in his 80s who had chronic hepatitis B, took entecavir for it, and presented with higher levels of alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and jaundice. An abdominal computed tomography scan revealed choledocholithiasis with cholecystolithiasis. Although endoscopic papillary balloon dilatation was performed for the removal of a common bile duct stone, the abnormal liver function tests, including jaundice, were prolonged. After other viral hepatitis and other causes of the liver injury were ruled out, as his serum was positive for immunoglobulin A anti-HEV and HEV genotype 3b RNA, we diagnosed him as having acute hepatitis E. In this case, with chronic hepatitis B and a common bile duct stone, the prolonged abnormal results for the liver function tests seemed to be caused by HEV infection. In conclusion, in cases with high ALT levels after removing choledocholithiasis, other factors, including HEV infection, should be considered to determine the cause of abnormal liver function test results. The further examination of hepatitis D virus infection and high ALT levels may be needed in HBV-infected individuals.

“…While most cases of HAV are asymptomatic, some present with diarrhea, abdominal pain, fever, anorexia, nausea, and vomiting [ 4 ]. Nevertheless, HAV causing and presenting as symptomatic AAC is very rare and only 29 reports have linked them together [ 5 , 6 ]. Here, we present a case of HAV induced AAC which presented to our university hospital and was diagnosed postoperatively.…”
