title: [Analysis of liver function index and clinical characters in 122 patients with acute hepatitis E virus coinfection with other hepatitis virus].
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  To compare the liver function index and clinical characters in 122 patients with acute hepatitis E virus overlapping with other infection.
  
  
  METHODS
  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.
  
  
  RESULTS
  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.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  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.
