A common viral illness with uncommon presentation: A Case Series

Abstract Hepatitis A infection usually causes liver dysfunction, jaundice, anorexia, and fever. Shock is not a common presenting feature of Hepatitis A infection. Patients with shock are commonly encountered in emergencies, and establishing the cause and type of shock is essential. Shock is generally classified into hypovolemic, cardiogenic, septic, and obstructive shock. Thorough clinical examination and point-of-care ultrasound help to establish the cause of shock in such patients. We present two cases of short duration of fever and cardiogenic shock presented to the emergency. After further investigation of the cases, both were found positive for anti-hepatitis A (HAV) antibodies..
