Abstract
Non-hepatotropic viral hepatitis (NHVH) refers to acute hepatitis or acute liver failure caused by viruses that do not primarily target the liver. These viruses include the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV), cytomegalovirus (CMV), herpes simplex virus (HSV)-1 and −2, varicella zoster, parvovirus, adenovirus, adeno-associated virus type 2, measles, and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-Cov-2). The epidemiology, pathogenesis, and clinical manifestations of hepatitis due to hepatotropic viruses (hepatitis A-E) have been well studied. However, there is a paucity of data on NHVH due to its rarity, self-limiting clinical course, and vague presentation. NHVH can occur as an isolated illness or as part of a disseminated disease, and its clinical features range from self-limiting transaminitis to acute liver failure. This activity reviews the most common non-hepatotropic viruses (NHV), with a focus on their biology, etiopathogenesis, clinical manifestations, and management.
