Abstract
Infective hepatitis is a systemic disease mainly caused by viruses, So also known as viral hepatitis. It is defined as systemic virus infection marked by hepatic cell necrosis and hepatic inflammation which leads to a characteristic constellation of clinical, biochemical and histological changes. To study viral hepatitis with reference to clinico‐hematological correlation. Prospective study carried out at our tertiary care hospital over a period of 1 year. 50 patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria were studied in a detailed manner., history was noted, examination was done., they were investigated as per the proforma. Study suggest that majority of the patients were from lower socioeconomic class and age of group of patients was usually 4‐6 years. This Majority of patients presented with short history of fever, anorexia, vomiting, yellowish discoloration of urine and sclera. Main clinical signs were presence of icterus and hepatomegaly. So this implicates that most of the cases of infective hepatitis were due to hepatitis A and/or E that transmitted faecoorally. Hepatitis A virus infection was most seen in children in present study. Altered liver function test noted in all case of viral hepatitis. All cases show raise in liver enzyme and serum bilirubin level. Prothrombin time was deranged in 14% of case.
