AIM:To compares the clinical features of patients infected with hepatitis E virus (HEV) with or without severe jaundice.In addition,the risk factors for HEV infection with severe jaundice were investigated.METHODS:We enrolled 235 patients with HEV into a cross-sectional study using multi-stage sampling to select the study group.Patients with possible acute hepatitis E showing elevated liver enzyme levels were screened for HEV infection using serologic and molecular tools.HEV infection was documented by HEV antibodies and by the detection of HEV-RNA in serum.We used x2 analysis,Fisher's exact test,and Student's t test where appropriate in this study.Significant predictors in the univariate analysis were then included in a forward,stepwise multiple logistic regression model.RESULTS:No significant differences in symptoms,alanine aminotransferase,aspartate aminotransferase,alkaline phosphatase,or hepatitis B virus surface antigen between the two groups were observed.HEV infected patients with severe jaundice had significantly lower peak serum levels of γ-glutamyl-transpeptidase (GGT) (median:170.31 U/L vs 237.96 U/L,P =0.007),significantly lower ALB levels (33.84 g/L vs 36.89 g/L,P =0.000),significantly lower acetylcholine esterase (CHE) levels (4500.93 U/L vs 5815.28 U/L,P =0.000) and significantly higher total bile acid (TBA) levels (275.56 μmol/L vs 147.03 μmol/L,P =0.000) than those without severe jaundice.The median of the lowest point time tended to be lower in patients with severe jaundice (81.64％ vs 96.12％,P =0.000).HEV infected patients with severe jaundice had a significantly higher viral load (median:134 vs 112,P =0.025) than those without severe jaundice.HEV infected patients with severe jaundice showed a trend toward longer median hospital stay (38.17 d vs 18.36 d,P =0.073).Multivariate logistic regression indicated that there were significant differences in age,sex,viral load,GGT,albumin,TBA,CHE,prothrombin index,alcohol overconsumption,and duration of admission between patients infected with acute hepatitis E with and without severe jaundice.CONCLUSION:Acute hepatitis E patients may naturally present with severe jaundice.
