## ETIOLOGY OF FH There are many causes of FH, which vary with the geographic region. The most frequent causes worldwide include viral hepatitis [particularly hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis B virus (HBV)], medication overdose (in particular paracetamol), idiosyncratic drug reactions, ingesti
## Abstract NonβA, nonβB hepatitis viruses have been implicated as the etiological agent(s) in up to 60% of patients with fulminant hepatitis. These agents are reported to induce a higher mortality than other causes of fulminant hepatitis. Hepatitis E virus (HEV) and hepatitis C virus (HCV) at pres
Clinical profiles, serological markers, and antibody responses to antigens of hepatitis B virus (HBV) were studied in patients with fulminant viral hepatitis. Whereas hepatitis A and B were found to be uncommon causes (6.9% and 12.2%, respectively), non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis was found to be the
## Abstract The serological markers of hepatitis B virus and serum alphaβfetoprotein (AFP) levels have been studied in 28 consecutive cases of fulminant hepatitis, correlating the data with survival. On admission, 20 patients were found to be positive for HBsAg and eight for antiβHBs. All antiβHBs
