RESUMO
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To compare the liver function index and clinical characters in 122 patients with acute hepatitis E virus overlapping with other infection.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>The liver function index and clinical characters of 122 patients with acute hepatitis E virus overlapping infection and 40 patients with acute hepatitis E were retrospectively analyzed.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>No significant differences of ALT, AST, TBIL, DBIL were found between acute hepatitis E groups and overlapping infection hepatitis A or hepatitis B (P > 0.05). However, there were significant differences of Albumin (ALB) and Globulin (GLO) were found between acute hepatitis E groups and overlapping infection hepatitis B (P < 0.01). In acute hepatitis E overlapping infected hepatitis B or hepatitis A patients, more and severe complications were also observed.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The patients with acute Hepatitis E virus, especially Hepatitis E virus overlapping infection, need to pay more clinical monitor, prevent complication early and lower death rates.</p>
