http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24117684 Na GH, Kim DG, Han JH, Kim EY, Lee SH, Hong TH, You YK, Choi JY. Prevention Abstract BACKGROUND AND AIM: Without effective prophylaxis, liver transplantation (LT) for hepatitis B virus (HBV)-related liver disease is frequently complicated by severe and rapidly progressive HBV recurrence. The combination of low-dose hepatitis B immunoglobulin (HBIG) and the new nucleos(t)ide analog, entecavir, as prophylaxis for HBV recurrence after living-donor LT (LDLT) were analyzed.

Abstract Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a leading cause of chronic viral hepatitis in children. Before 1992, when the universal screening of blood products began, hepatitis C was spread commonly through transfusions and organ transplants.1 At present, children acquire the infection through the use of blood-contaminated objects (syringes and other equipment) or from mothers with hepatitis C. Transmission from mother to child is the major source of acquisition of HCV infection in children. Published on:

Hepatitis B in Children
What is Hepatitis B?Hepatitis B is a disease caused specifically by hepatitis B virus. The virus infects the liver and may result in inflammation (swelling) of the liver cells (hepatitis). This results in liver dysfunction. The spectrum of the disease ranges widely from asymptomatic disease or mild jaundice (which subside spontaneously) to chronic infection causing liver failure, permanent liver damage (Cirrhosis) or liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma).

NEONATAL JAUNDICE (JAUNDICE IN NEWBORN) What is jaundice?Increase in Bilirubin (yellow pigment) in blood beyond the normal range is defined as jaundice. Bilirubin is produced from breakdown of red blood cells. Before it is processed by the liver it is in indirect form. The rise of this form of bilirubin leads to Indirect jaundice. After processing into the liver it is converted to direct form which passes into the intestine through the bile duct. Bile duct is a tube like structure which connects the liver to small intestine. From intestine the direct bilirubin is absorbed into the blood and excreted by the kidneys. Any problem in the liver or bile duct can result into direct or cholestatic (absence of bile flow) jaundice. |
