Spontaneous Cure of Acute Hepatitis C.

ABSTRACT: The statistics proved that approximately 25% of the patients with acute HCV present with jaundice, and only 10-20% develop gastrointestinal symptoms. We present the case of a 58 year-old woman, with prior antecedents of arterial hypertension and diabetes mellitus since 25 years old, hypercholesterolemia and hypertriglyceridemia, psoriasis, epilepsy and depressive syndrome. She clinically presents asthenia, anorexia, itching, jaundice and choluria. The objective examination showed an orientated patient, without flapping, hemorrhagic dyscrasia or signs of chronic hepatic disease, with icteric mucosa and skin, abdominal pain, with hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. The laboratory tests have been compatible with acute hepatitis with colestatic pattern: AST/ALT 969/798 UI/ml, FA 796 UI/ml, GGT 2476
