adults mostly experience full resolutions, but neonates have a far worse prognosis
HBV
HDV after HBV is called
superinfection
poor prognosis
HDV with HBV is called
coinfection
biopsy shows
- hepatocyte swelling
- monocyte infiltration
- coucilman bodies
HAV
biopsy shows
- granular eosinophilic “ground glass” appearance
- cytotoxic T cells
2
HBV, HDV
biopsy shows
lymphoid aggregates with focal areas of macrovesicular steatosis
HCV
biopsy shows
patchy necrosis
