epatitis E virus infection has been a major concern in
the pregnant women due to its fulminant nature in
pregnancy. It increases mortality and morbidity in pregnant
females as compared to the non-pregnant females and
males. The study was performed to evaluate the maternal
and fetal outcome in pregnancy with hepatic encephalopathy
due to HEV infection. All pregnant HEV Positive patients with
signs and symptoms of encephalopathy admitted in the ICU
of BRB Hospital ltd during the period of January 2018 and
August 2018 were included in this study. Maternal outcome
in terms of acute Hepatic failure, coagulation failure, hepatic
encephalopathy and maternal mortality was studied. Fetal
outcome in terms of preterm labor, intrauterine fetal death,
live birth was studied. In this study we found that pregnant
women with HEV infection having hepatic encephalopathy
had a maternal mortality rate was 16 %. Maternal death is
mostly due to the coagulation failure. The most common
obstetric complication was IUFD (25%) and preterm labor
(16%). Continuation of pregnancy rate was 58%. There was
no PPH as patients were treated by Fresh Frozen Plasma
and keeping Prothrombin Time below 17 prior induction
Prophylactic intrauterine condom catheter was given in every
patient after delivery. Conclusions: Mortality is high among
HEV with encephalopathy. But we can reduce mortality
and morbidity by using FFP and reducing serum ammonia
aggressively.
