Abstract
Background: Hepatitis is one of the common infectious diseases that can infect patients in various forms. Based on their characteristics and clinical features, they can cause irreparable complications in patients. Coinfections and superinfections between its variant have been reported, but the coinfection of acute HAV and HBV is rarely reported. Case Presentation. In this case report, we presented a case with severe malaise, nausea, vomiting, generalized jaundice, and a history of recent tattooing and travel to the HAV endemic area. In our evaluation, she had a positive HBsAg, HBeAg, anti-HBs IgM, anti-HAV IgM, and negative result in HCV antibody, HIV antibody, and anti-HAV IgG. The coinfection of HAV/HBV was confirmed for her.
Conclusion: Physicians should differentiate hepatitis A and hepatitis B superinfection or coinfection, based on history and laboratory testing, to prevent complications with appropriate treatment.
