Profound jaundice in a patient with acute hepatitis C.

Prateek Lohia1, Raxitkumar Jinjuvadia, Elizabeth May.   

Abstract

A 52-year-old African-American woman with overall good health and medical history of asthma and depression presented with right lower quadrant abdominal pain, vomiting and icterus for 3 weeks. Her physical examination was remarkable for only sclera icterus and mild tenderness on palpation in the right lower quadrant. Investigations revealed marked hyperbilirubinemia and transaminitis, with other serological and radiological studies unremarkable and a hepatitis A, B and C panel negative 3 weeks before presentation. Repeat hepatitis panel showing hepatitis C antibody positive with viral load 20 739 524 IU/mL. Liver biopsy supported the diagnosis of acute hepatitis C infection.
