AKT-2300

A 22-year-old man presents to his General Practitioner with profound tiredness and a lack of appetite which have been present for about a week. He has just returned from a gap-year trip to Thailand and noticed he was jaundiced just before coming home. He also experienced a fever, but this subsided once his jaundice appeared. He has no sexual history, doesn’t abuse intravenous (IV) drugs and did not receive a blood transfusion or get a tattoo or piercing during his trip.
