  • Title: Hepatitis C and hepatitis E in acute sporadic non-A non-B hepatitis in hospital patients of Delhi (India).
    Author: Prakash C.
    Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health; 1998 Sep; 29(3):475-9. PubMed ID: 10437942.
    Abstract:
    Non-A, non-B hepatitis (NANBH) has been considered to be the commonest cause of acute sporadic viral hepatitis in India. Serological studies (Macro ELISA) were conducted on 477 such patients from 9 hospitals of Delhi for markers of hepatitis A and acute hepatitis B (Anti-HAV-IgM,HBsAg and anti-HBc-IgM) and 49.7% of these were found to be due to NANBH. On further testing of NANBH sera it was found that both hepatitis C and hepatitis E contribute significantly to acute sporadic jaundice in Delhi, the latter more than the former.
