Treatment of Acute Hepatitis A in Pregnancy

Acute hepatitis A presenting during pregnancy is a clinical scenario that warrants careful, individualised management. The combination of active hepatitis A infection and pregnancy introduces additional considerations that go beyond standard hepatitis A care.

This protocol addresses acute hepatitis A occurring in pregnancy. Severe hepatitis can be more severe in pregnant people, making early specialist involvement a priority in this population.
Management in this setting centres on specialist consultation. The full protocol outlines the structured approach — including which specialist input to seek and the specific considerations relevant to the pregnant patient. Details of the complete regimen are available via the link below.
