Overview

Hepatitis B must be differentiated from other diseases that cause fever, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, hepatomegaly, icteric sclera, elevated ALT, and elevated AST, such as other types of viral hepatitis, alcoholic hepatitis, and autoimmune hepatitis.[1][2][3][4]

Differentiating Hepatitis B from other Diseases

The table below summarizes the findings that differentiate hepatitis B from other conditions that cause fever, nausea, vomiting, jaundice, hepatomegaly, and icteric sclera.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8]

Disease Findings
Viral Hepatitis A
  • Abrupt onset of prodromal symptoms
  • Detectable serum immunoglobulin M (IgM) anti-HAV antibodies
  • Hepatitis, caused by the hepatitis A virus, produces a self-limited disease
Viral Hepatitis C
Viral Hepatitis D
Viral Hepatitis E
Alcoholic Hepatitis
Autoimmune Hepatitis

Hepatitis B must be differentiated from other causes of rash and arthritis[9][10][11]

Disease Findings
Nongonococcal septic arthritis
  • Presents with an acute onset of joint swelling and pain (usually monoarticular)
  • Culture of joint fluid reveals organisms
Acute rheumatic fever
  • Presents with polyarthritis and rash (rare presentation) in young adults. Microbiologic or serologic evidence of a recent streptococcal infection confirm the diagnosis.
  • Poststreptococcal arthritis have a rapid response to salicylates or other antiinflammatory drugs.
Syphilis
  • Presents with acute secondary syphilis usually presents with generalized, pustular lesions at the palms and soles with generalized lymphadenopathy
  • Rapid plasma reagin (RPR), Venereal Disease Research Laboratory (VDRL) and Fluorescent treponemal antibody absorption (FTA-ABS) tests confirm the presence of the causative agent.
Reactive arthritis (Reiter syndrome)
  • Musculoskeletal manifestation include arthritis, tenosynovitis, dactylitis, and low back pain.
  • Extraarticular manifestation include conjunctivitis, urethritis, and genital and oral lesions.
  • Reactive arthritis is a clinical diagnosis based upon the pattern of findings and there is no definitive diagnostic test
Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection
  • Presents with fever, chills, polyarthritis, tenosynovitis, and urticarial rash
  • Synovial fluid analysis usually shows noninflammatory fluid
  • Elevated serum aminotransaminases and evidence of acute HBV infection on serologic testing confirm the presence of the HBV.
Herpes simplex virus (HSV)
  • Genital and extragenital lesions can mimic the skin lesions that occur in disseminated gonococcal infection
  • Viral culture, polymerase chain reaction (PCR), and direct fluorescence antibody confirm the presence of the causative agent.
HIV infection
  • Present with generalized rash with mucus membrane involvement, fever, chills, and arthralgia. Joint effusions are uncommon
Gout and other crystal-induced arthritis
  • Presents with acute monoarthritis with fever and chills
  • Synovial fluid analysis confirm the diagnosis.
Lyme disease
  • Present with erythema chronicum migrans rash and monoarthritis as a later presentation.
  • Clinical characteristics of the rash and and serologic testing confirm the diagnosis.


Differential diagnosis of jaundice are: [12][13][14][15][16]
