Hi,
The normal range of SGPT is approx 7-56 Iu/l, it is known to increase in cases of liver or muscle injury and in various other diseases. You mentioned that you were treated for viral infection. It might have caused the rise or the paracetamol you are taking is also known to cause liver injury and rise the enzymes. There is nothing to panic as these enzymes are non specific, if you are still concerned repeat the test after you recover from your illness.
