Background: Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) is one of the common infections in developing nation. Hepatotrophic virus causes AVH and most of the time it has self-limiting course. HAV is most common cause of AVH. Suboptimal dietary cultural practices are common in our nation. This study was done to know the impact of suboptimal dietary practices done in AVH.Methods: Observational study conducted with 50 children with AVH. Dietary assessment was done at three point of time. First During AVH, second, pre illness and then two weeks after nutritional counselling. Data of dietary modification done by parents/caregiver during AVH recorded. History of herbal medicine taken for treatment of AVH enquired.Results: HAV positive was (72%), HEV positivity was in 8 (16%) cases, hepatitis B was positive in 4 (8%) children and dual infection HAV+HEV was detected in 2 (4%) children. Many parents did dietary modification due to AVH and also by some local treating physicians, 18 (36%) patients were also on herbal medication for treatment of AVH. During AVH the mean calorie and protein requirement decreased from 96% to 54% and 92% to 43% respectively. Two weeks after nutritional counseling the mean calorie and protein intake increased from 54% to 88% and 43% to 84% respectively. This change in calorie and protein was statistically significant (p<0.01) Non-vegetarian diet preference was restarted in many of them after nutritional counseling.Conclusions: This observational study revealed that suboptimal dietary cultural practices are prevalent in India. Majority of children were on bland diet and receiving inadequate proteins and calories.

“…Hepatitis means inflammation of the liver which may result from infectious causes like microorganisms or from non-infectious agents like drugs, alcohols, or hepatotoxic substances. Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) is most commonly caused by infection by hepatitis A or E virus and ranges from subclinical disease or self-limited symptomatic disease to fulminant hepatic failure [ 1 ]. The term AVH subsequently in this article shall refer to the acute symptomatic disease caused by hepatitis A virus (HAV) or hepatitis E virus (HEV).…”

Objective Acute viral hepatitis (AVH) caused by hepatitis virus A and hepatitis virus E is one of the many epidemics that plague third world countries like Pakistan. The serological tests required for the diagnosis of acute viral hepatitis may be unavailable or unaffordable to the denizens of a developing country like Pakistan. In such a scenario, the clinical manifestations and the ultrasonographic findings are the only diagnostic criteria usually present and these can be used to support a clinical diagnosis. This study aims to judge the utility of ultrasound in the diagnosis of AVH. Results Among the forty-seven subjects of this study, gall bladder wall thickening (GWT) was the most common radiological finding seen in 39 (82.9%) patients. Pericholecystic edema was the second most common finding, seen in 31 (65.9%) patients. Starry sky appearance of the liver was observed in 30 (63.8) patients. Hepatomegaly and ascites were seen in 28 (59.5%) and 25 (53.2%) of the patients, respectively. The ultrasonographic findings of GWT, pericholecystic edema, and starry sky appearance of the liver were the most common ultrasonographic findings associated with AVH.
