Why does darling appear liver function is abnormal?
summary
A mother with hepatitis B wrote to me and asked me that her baby was almost one year old. The mother and child block of hepatitis B was successful. She was very happy with hepatitis B surface antibody. Yesterday in our hospital pediatric examination antibody at the same time also checked the liver function, but found that the child's liver function is obviously abnormal. ATL 162 U/L,AST 114 U/L。 She was very anxious. Recall that the child had a fever intermittently one week ago and had a rash during that time. Let's take a look at the following.
Why does darling appear liver function is abnormal?
First: infant herpesvirus, rubella virus, measles virus, Toxoplasma gondii infection may lead to abnormal liver function.
Second: from the child's fever and rash, it is more likely to be caused by cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr virus. Therefore, I suggest that she test the child for cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr virus antibodies.
Third: hepatitis B virus is also an important cause of infantile hepatitis syndrome. However, the hepatitis B mother's child mother to child block success, can rule out hepatitis B virus infection.
matters needing attention
Most newborns and infants infected with cytomegalovirus and Epstein Barr virus can self heal without treatment. In case of persistent fever, rash, abnormal liver function, jaundice and other symptoms, they should go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment in time.
