A virus that causes serious complications in the elderly

A virus is a hepatitis virus that does not necessarily cause inflammation of the liver and is often treated with rest in the home, a healthy diet and a large amount of fluids, but studies have shown that this happens young people, but older people could have serious complications. We recognize them in the following report.

Dr. Mohsen Salama, professor of liver and gastroenterology at the National Liver Institute of Menoufia University, member of the Superior Committee of Liver Diseases, said: "Studies have shown that the symptoms of 39, a viral infection are more serious in the elderly. " The incidence of complications is significantly related to the age of the patient, The virus after the apparent cure repeatedly, due to the inability of the patient's immune system to recover completely.

He added "safety", in a statement of the "seventh day", that the second phenomenon is the persistence of obstruction of the bile ducts in the liver and that the third disease is the occurrence of renal insufficiency Acute associated with viral A infection, explaining that the occurrence of renal failure associated with the virus does not cause chronic renal failure thereafter, but the condition gradually improves with supportive treatments for the kidneys and the liver.

Salama pointed out that the fourth condition is the presence of a liver immunosuppression of the virus, resulting in a continuous increase in liver enzymes for a long time, and that the fifth disease likely to accompany the virus A is the failure bone marrow accompanied by severe renal failure due to viral attack of the bone marrow or the virus. The immune disorder caused by the virus, and all the above, is more common in elderly patients and, in the vast majority of cases, is completely cured of those cases associated with the virus.
