Hepatitis A Virus Infection - Rare Presentations in Children

Saurabhi D, Shambhawi R, Anju A and Hema Mittal

Hepatitis in children caused by Hepatitis A virus is usually a self limiting disease. Hepatitis A presenting as hepatic encephalopathy or glomerulonephritis is rare. We are reporting two cases of children with Hepatitis A, one of whom presented with encephalopathy without fulminant hepatic failure and another developed acute glomerulonephritis. Both patients improved with conservative management. We describe these rare presentations of a common disease.
