Answers (100% Correct Answers) Already
Graded A+
IgM Antibodies [ Ans: ] early antigen immune response not
lifetime immunity, clear in 6-18m
IgG [ Ans: ] Lifetime immunity
© 2025 Assignment Expert
Viral Hepatitis—A [ Ans: ] - What can we measure? - IgM
(acutely ill) and IgG antibodies (cleared dz >6m)
Viral Hepatitis—C [ Ans: ] - Antibodies—but they are a measure
of viral activity-have the virus—NOT immunity - ELISA is screening
Guru01 - Stuvia
method - Then Western Blot is confirmatory antibody test - Then if
both positive—the measure viral load, and genotype
Viral Hepatitis—E [ Ans: ] - IgM and IgG antibodies (similar to hep
a)
Viral Hepatitis—G [ Ans: ] - Hepatitis G antigen, serum or stool
Viral Hepatitis—B [ Ans: ] - What can we measure?
- Hepatitis B surface antigen
- Hepatitis B core antigen [non-detectable]**
- Hepatitis Be antigen
- Hepatitis Be antibodies—IgM and IgG
- Hepatitis B core antibodies—IgM and IgG
- Hepatitis B surface antibodies—IgM and IgG
- **surrogate marker is Hepatitis B core antibody IgM (picture)
Viral Hepatitis—D [ Ans: ] - Hepatitis B surface antigen IgM AND -
Antibodies to Hepatitis D IgM and IgG antibodies
no D S B

Viral Hepatitis: Acute Hepatitis [ Ans: ] Fie types of viral hepatitis
that are separate entities—A, B, C, E and G Hepatitis D [or ∆
Hepatitis] refers to a virus like particle depending on persistent or
concomitant Hepatitis B
Hepatitis A [ Ans: ] Most common Spread by fecal-oral route and
contaminated shell fish Most patients do not develop jaundice
Chronic hepatitis does not develop nor does a chronic carrier
state Most infectious during the prodromal symptoms
Diagnosis established by antibody to Hepatitis A
Hepatitis A: Serology [ Ans: ] anti-HA IgM - acute/recent infection
anti-HA IgG - prior infection - lifetime immunity
© 2025 Assignment Expert
Hepatitis A RX [ Ans: ] ETOH, OCP and other hepatotoxic drugs
should be avoided Vaccine is available—inactivated Hepatitis A
virus given as 2 shots 6-12 months apart Immune globulin 0.02
ml/kg [effective o up to 2 weeks post exposure
Guru01 - Stuvia
Hepatitis E [ Ans: ] RNA virus Endemic and epidemic in Asia,
Africa and Mexico Most common signs/symptoms—jaundice,
malaise, nausea, abdominal pain, dark urine, hepatomegaly and
fever. Antibodies to Hepatitis E are detectable in serum and in in
the stool Enterically transmitted - Fecally contaminated H2O High
mortality in pregnant females. anti-HE IgM - Appear first - Virus
detectable in the stool at this phase anti-HE IgG - Prior infection
Hepatitis G [ Ans: ] Associated with sporadic and posttransfusion
hepatitis Virus has been detected in serum of patients with non-
A→E fulminant hepatitis Virus has been detected in serum of
patients with non-A→E chronic hepatitis
Hepatitis C [ Ans: ] Flaviviridae virus; diagnosed by antibodies to
hepatitis C Accounts for 95% o f non-A/non-B hepatitis Parenteral
transmission Incubation of 4-12 weeks; 25% develop symptoms,
50% of infections progress to chronic active or persistent hepatitis -
Related to viruses that cause yellow fever, dengue fever and
Japanese encephalitis Most frequent cause of acute hepatitis in
older people
