A case of emphysematous hepatitis with spontaneous pneumoperitoneum in a patient with hilar cholangiocarcinoma
Korean J Hepatol. 2012 Mar;18(1):94-7. doi: 10.3350/kjhep.2012.18.1.94. Epub 2012 Mar 22.ABSTRACTAn 80-year-old woman with hilar cholangiocarcinoma was hospitalized due to sudden-onset abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed hepatic necrosis accompanied with emphysematous change in the superior segment of the right liver (S7/S8), implying spontaneous rupture, based on the presence of perihepatic free air. Although urgent percutaneous drainage was performed, neither pus nor fluids were drained. These findings suggest emphysematous hepatitis with a hepatic mass. Despite the application of intensive care, the patient's c...

Drug rash with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms syndrome following cholestatic hepatitis A: a case report
We describe a 22-year-old male who presented with acute kidney injury and was diagnosed with prolonged cholestatic hepatitis A. The patient also developed DRESS syndrome due to antibiotic and/or antiviral treatment. To our knowledge, this is the first report of histopathologically confirmed DRESS syndrome due to antibiotic and/or antiviral treatment following HAV infection with cholestatic features and renal injury.PMID:22511907 | PMC:PMC3326989 | DOI:10.3350/kjhep.2012.18.1.84

High efficacy of adefovir and entecavir combination therapy in patients with nucleoside-refractory hepatitis B
CONCLUSIONS: ADV+ETV combination therapy induced a good IVR in CHB patients who were refractory to more than 2 antiviral agents. This regimen may be a good alternative to TDF in Korea, where that drug is not available.PMID:22511906 | PMC:PMC3326991 | DOI:10.3350/kjhep.2012.18.1.75

Optimal time for repeating the IgM anti-hepatitis A virus antibody test in acute hepatitis A patients with a negative initial test
CONCLUSIONS: The results of HAV tests were significantly associated with the interval from the peak-ALT day to the HAV-test day. The optimal time for repeating the HAV test in clinically suspicious AHA patients with a negative initial HAV test appears to be at least 2 days after the peak-ALT day.PMID:22511904 | PMC:PMC3326997 | DOI:10.3350/kjhep.2012.18.1.56

Rapid normalization of alanine aminotransferase predicts viral response during combined peginterferon and ribavirin treatment in chronic hepatitis C patients
CONCLUSIONS: The SVR rate is significantly associated with normalization, and especially rapid normalization of ALT. Rapid normalization of ALT by 4 weeks after treatment might be a useful response factor that is readily available in clinical practice, and especially for genotype 1 patients.PMID:22511902 | PMC:PMC3326992 | DOI:10.3350/kjhep.2012.18.1.41

Recent trends in the treatment of chronic hepatitis C
Korean J Hepatol. 2012 Mar;18(1):22-8. doi: 10.3350/kjhep.2012.18.1.22. Epub 2012 Mar 22.ABSTRACTPegylated interferon and ribavirin combination therapy is accepted as the standard antiviral treatment for chronic hepatitis C regardless of HCV genotype. This combination therapy achieves higher response rates than previous therapy, but, nevertheless, a large proportion of patients suffer from treatment failure or adverse events. Recent clinical studies of viral kinetics during antiviral treatment have led to the introduction of response-guided therapy, the concept of 'customized therapy depending on viral response', which foc...
