Abstract
Acute Viral hepatitis in pregnancy is a high risk pregnancy and is a subject of continued interest. There are studies showing results ranging from no difference in maternal and fetal outcome to virtually lethal outcome in the form of fulminant hepatitis and hepatic failure. Each type of viral hepatitis has different implications over the course of pregnancy. To determine the maternal and fetal outcomes and perinatal transmission in pregnancy associated with acute viral hepatitis. 200 mothers with positive viral serology were followed clinically as well as laboratory and radiological investigations throughout the pregnancy. The data were tabulated in Microsoft EXCEL and analysed with SPSS V. 24 software. Associations evaluated with Chi square test. Hepatitis E is the most prevalent and associated with high maternal mortality (94.3%), DIC (92.9%), HE (97.7%), PPH (63.6%), IUD (94.4%), preterm birth (67.4%), low birth weight (83.3%). Hepatitis A was rather associated with anaemia (33.3%), abnormal renal function (23.1%), PPH (27.3%). Precautionary measures if timely taken can reduce the incidence of Hepatitis. At present there is no effective vaccination against Hepatitis E in pregnancy, however proper management of patients with Hepatitis E Virus infection can reduce the burden of disease.
