Abstract

Background: Acute viral hepatitis is a common infection in developing countries among children. Different diagnostic methods for acute hepatitis has been introduced. Objectives: In this study, we have determined the prevalence of sonographic signs in children with acute hepatitis. Methods: A total of 383 children with acute hepatitis were studied in Zahedan city, southeast of Iran. The sampling method was by the enumeration of the cases. Patients underwent ultrasonography in which their sonographic signs of acute hepatitis were investigated and analyzed. Results: The mean age of children was 6.1 ± 2.8 years, with 211 (55.1%) males and 172 (44.9%) females. The prevalence of gallbladder wall edema was 20.1% (77 children), periportal lymphadenopathy 15.1% (58 children), hepatomegaly 4.9% (19 children), increased liver echogenicity 53.0% (203 children), decreased liver echogenicity 15.4% (59 children), splenomegaly 1.8% (7 children), and periportal hyperechogenicity 32.4% (124 children). Conclusions: The results indicate that the most common sonographic signs of patients with acute hepatitis were increased liver echogenicity and periportal hyperechogenicity.

伊朗东南部扎黑丹市儿童急性肝炎的超声征象患病率

背景:急性病毒性肝炎是发展中国家儿童的一种常见感染。介绍了急性肝炎的不同诊断方法。目的:在本研究中，我们确定了急性肝炎儿童超声征象的患病率。方法:对伊朗东南部扎黑丹市383例急性肝炎患儿进行调查。抽样方法采用病例列举法。患者行超声检查，对急性肝炎的超声征象进行调查和分析。结果:患儿平均年龄6.1±2.8岁，其中男性211例(55.1%)，女性172例(44.9%)。胆壁水肿患病率为20.1%(77例)，门静脉周围淋巴结病患病率为15.1%(58例)，肝肿大患病率为4.9%(19例)，肝脏回声增强53.0%(203例)，肝脏回声减弱15.4%(59例)，脾肿大1.8%(7例)，门静脉周围回声增强32.4%(124例)。结论:急性肝炎患者最常见的超声征象是肝脏回声增强和门静脉周围高回声。
