Indikationsstellung zur Therapie der chronischen Hepatitis B und D

Akute Hepatitis B

Konsens

Aufgrund der hohen Spontanheilungsrate ist die akute Hepatitis B beim Erwachsenen keine Indikation für die jetzt verfügbaren antiviralen Medikamente (B). Sonderfälle sind Patienten mit fulminanter Hepatitis B (0,1 - 0,5 % der Fälle bei Erwachsenen); diese sollten im Rahmen von Studien und in (Transplantations-) Zentren betreut und ggf. behandelt werden (C).

Erläuterung

Die akute Hepatitis B heilt beim Erwachsenen in 95 - 99 % der Fälle spontan aus [1] [2].
