Rubella infection can cause liver dysfunction, with elevated LDH levels and potential for prolonged transaminase abnormalities. Consider rubella in diagnosing non-A, non-B hepatitis.

Area of Science:

  • Hepatology
  • Virology
  • Infectious Diseases

Context:

  • Rubella virus infection is a known cause of childhood exanthema.
  • Hepatic dysfunction is an uncommon manifestation of rubella.

Purpose:

  • To investigate the clinical features and laboratory findings of rubella infection associated with hepatic dysfunction.
  • To determine the diagnostic implications of rubella in cases of sporadic hepatitis.

Summary:

  • Eleven patients with rubella infection and hepatic dysfunction were studied.
  • Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels and suspected extrahepatic manifestations were noted.
  • While most patients normalized transaminase levels within 8 weeks, two showed prolonged abnormalities, one with coexisting chronic non-A, non-B hepatitis.

Impact:

  • Suggests rubella infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of sporadic hepatitis, particularly non-A, non-B types.
  • Highlights the potential for rubella to cause significant hepatic dysfunction and prolonged liver enzyme abnormalities.
