  Other serologic studies demonstrated that all acutely ill patients had circulating anti-HAV IgM, while all convalescent patients were positive for anti-HAV IgG. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Acutely ill patients require stabilisation and transfer and admission to an acute care setting. This may involve advocating for the admission of the patient. Continuity of care for seriously ill patients requires the use of handover skills. [curriculum.racgp.org.au]

  It is a mild upper respiratory viral illness that may include some or all of the following symptoms: sneezing, rhinorrhea, sore throat, cough, low-grade fever, headache, and malaise. [annals.org]

  Typical cases of acute HAV infection are marked by several weeks of malaise, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, and elevated aminotransferase levels. Jaundice develops in more severe cases. [emedicine.medscape.com]
