Diseases of the liver and biliary tract

Tuberculous hepatitis

Tuberculous hepatitis is usually detected at autopsy or laparoscopy in patients with abdominal tuberculosis. Liver tuberculosis accompanies intestinal tuberculosis in 79-99% of cases.

Toxoplasmosis hepatitis.

Congenital toxoplasmic hepatitis is a disease caused by toxoplasma acquired by the fetus antenatally from the mother through toxoplasmosis.

Hepatitis caused by herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2

Hepatitis caused by herpes simplex virus types 1 and 2 (HSV 1 and HSV 2) is a disease caused by herpes simplex viruses that are transmitted to the fetus from a mother with a disease caused by these viruses.

Chlamydia hepatitis

Congenital chlamydial hepatitis is a disease that occurs when the fetus is infected with chlamydia antenatally from a mother with chlamydia infection.

Fulminant (malignant) hepatitis

Fulminant hepatitis is a special clinical form of acute hepatitis that occurs as a result of submassive or massive liver necrosis caused by an etiologic agent and is characterized by a complex of clinical and biochemical symptoms of progressive liver failure.

Hepatitis caused by herpes simplex viruses

The pathogenesis of HSV hepatitis has not been studied to date in either immunocompromised or immunocompetent patients. There is reason to believe that in some cases, latent HSV infection is reactivated against the background of cytostatic therapy.

Varicella-zoster hepatitis.

The pathogenesis of VZV hepatitis has not been studied. The idea of hepatotropism of the herpes virus type 3 first arose during the development of a live vaccine against chickenpox, when it was convincingly shown that it has a pronounced tropism for hepatocytes.

Hepatitis caused by human herpes viruses types 6 and 7

Acute cholestatic afebrile HHV 6 hepatitis may develop in patients who have undergone solid organ transplantation. HHV 6 infection may cause graft rejection in patients who have undergone liver transplantation.

Epstein-Barr viral hepatitis.

Epstein-Barr viral hepatitis is a term that does not imply the involvement of the liver in the pathological process in general, as, for example, in infectious mononucleosis, but an independent form of Epstein-Barr viral infection, in which liver damage occurs in isolation and is not accompanied by the clinical picture of infectious mononucleosis.

Cytomegalovirus hepatitis.

Cytomegalovirus hepatitis is an independent form of CMV infection, in which liver damage occurs in isolation if the cytomegalovirus has a tropism not for the epithelium of the biliary tract, but directly for hepatocytes.
