A study to examine the clinic – epidemiological profile of acute viral hepatitis was carried in the region. It was found that in a total of 90 serologically positive acute viral hepatitis patients, Hepatitis E was most frequently found and with most fatalities among pregnant women. Overall, hepatitis B had the most fulminant course followed by hepatitis E. The disease was statistically insignificantly distributed age, sex and rural/urbanwise. The individual courses of the different types of acute viral hepatitis were thereby studied and discussed.
