We reported a patient with acute hepatitis E who had recurrent vomiting and dizziness that are uncommon in other patients with hepatitis E.The patient developed dizziness 1 month ago prior, accompanied by yellow urine, sclera, and staining of the skin. Half a month prior, the patient gradually developed fatigue and a poor appetite, accompanied by nausea, aversion to oil, loss of appetite, and itching of the skin. The patient turned out to have an acute hepatitis E infection and was hospitalized for more than a month with repeated vomiting and dizziness.He was treated conservatively with drugs for various reasons.After more than one month of medication and rest, the patient's vomiting and dizziness symptoms improved significantly, and follow-up found that the recovery was good.
