Urticaria and periorbital edema as prodromal presenting signs of acute hepatitis B infection.

Rob van Aalsburg1, Anne P J de Pagter, Perry J van Genderen.   

Abstract

A 34-year-old patient presented with giant, transient urticarial skin lesions and periorbital edema after a 3-month stay in DR Congo. Retrospective analysis of stored samples revealed that these signs were prodromal manifestations of acute hepatitis B infection. The hepatitis B infection was spontaneously cleared; the skin lesion did not recur.
