Polyarteritis Nodosa and Membranous Glomerulonephritis

Extra Hepatic Manifestations of Viral Hepatitis A

“…Extra hepatic manifestations have been frequently described in Hepatitis B and C. Studies by Doher et al, Jaryal et al and Khaira et al describe renal manifestations, Guillain Barre syndrome and polyarteritis nodosa associated with Hepatitis B. [1][2][3] Similar studies describe cardiovascular abnormalities, cryoglobulinemia, cytopenia and even lymphoma in association with hepatitis C. 4,5 Such studies are very few in relation to hepatitis A, thus forming the basis for this study. Viral hepatitis A usually has a characteristic illness pattern consisting of mild fever, malaise, nausea, vomiting and jaundice.…”
