Abstract | Severe cases of acute hepatitis have been reported all around the world since 5 April 2022. Common viral hepatitis agents (HAV, HBV, HCV, HDV, and HEV) were ruled out by laboratory investigations, impelling the term "acute non-A-E hepatitis". Common manifestations consist of abdominal pain, jaundice, and vomiting. A highly elevated level of liver enzymes was a remarkable laboratory finding among the patients. Currently, there is no clear etiology and thus treatment for the condition. Adenovirus serotype 41 (ad-41) was detected in most of the patients even though there is no elucidated link between Adenovirus and acute hepatitis. Other viral agents such as SARS-CoV-2 tested positive in a few cases. Treatment strategies depend on the severity, complications, and sequela of acute hepatitis and can vary widely from supportive therapy to liver transplantation. As of 8 July 2022, 1010 probable cases were reported from 35 countries. More than half were from the European region and were mostly children under the age of 6 years. Among different hypotheses about the etiology of severe acute non-A-E hepatitis, adenovirus-41 is of great importance but further assessments are needed to prove any definite link between ad-41 and severe acute hepatitis. |
