Abstract

Background: Acute classic VIRAL HEPATITIS includes A, B, C, D, and E. The frequency of acute VIRAL HEPATITIS varies in different societies. Since we were unaware of the true profile of hepatitis ETIOLOGY in Sistan and Balouchestan province, the present study was conducted in 1997-99. Materials and methods: It was a cross sectional study. All patients referring to pediatrics, internal and infectious diseases wards and a number of private clinics of Zahedan were included. Having confirmed acute hepatitis, patients were tested for HbsAg, IgM Anti HAV, IgM Anti HBV, IgM Anti HDV, and Anti HCV as needed. Hepatitis E was not investigated due to the lack of special kits. Results: Acute VIRAL HEPATITIS was confirmed in 273 patients, of whom, 206 (75.5%) had hepatitis A, 39(143%) hepatitis B, 5 (1.8%) hepatitis C, 5 (1.8%) hepatitis D, and 18 (6.6%) had hepatitis non A-D. Among under-five-year old individuals hepatitis A was the most frequent (96%), however, hepatitis B was reported in 50% of individuals greater than 20 years old. Conclusion: Hepatitis A is obviously the most common cause of acute VIRAL HEPATITIS in Zahedan. It is more frequent among under-five-year old children, however, in older patients (>20) hepatitis B is more prevalent.
