Let us look at an example to explain the causal sequence \u2013 or chain\u00a0\u00a0of events leading to death.<\/p>

A 50-year-old woman was admitted to the hospital vomiting blood and was diagnosed as having bleeding oesophageal varices. Investigation revealed portal hypertension. The woman had a history of Hepatitis B infection. Three days later, she died.<\/p>

  • In this case Hepatis B was the underlying cause of death.<\/li>
  • The liver cirrhosis developed as a consequence of the Hepatitis B<\/li>
  • And the portal hypertension developed due to the liver cirrhosis<\/li>
  • The immediate cause of death was the bleeding oesophageal varices, which was a consequence of the portal hypertension.<\/li><\/ul>


    Hepatitis B was the underlying cause of death. Knowing this, the public health response is to implement immunisation programmes against Hepatitis B virus to prevent such deaths in future.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
