Elevation of serum iron is frequently observed in patients' with chronic Hepatitis C virus infection and was found to be a negative predictive factor for treatment response. We prospectively evaluated the iron status of 112 patients with acute viral infection not due to hepatitis viruses. The virus infections included Epstein-Barr virus (57%), cytomegalovirus (22.3%) and others (20.7%). Increased serum iron was documented in two patients only. Out of nine patients who were evaluated twice, seven had increased serum iron but the level remained well within the normal range. Transferrin saturation was normal in all patients. Disturbed liver function tests were documented in 30-40% of patients. We conclude that serum iron is not significantly increased during acute non (A-E) hepatitis viral infections with or without liver involvement.
