We reported hematologic manifestations of HAV infection including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura as sole manifestations of HAV infection therefore in patients with these hematologic disorders, HAV infection should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis even if they are not jaundiced.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is often asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic in pediatric population, the severity of the disease increases by age.
📊
Key Findings & Data:Immune-mediated extrahepatic extrahepatic manifestations and hematologic complications are mainly reported in adults with acute and chronic hepatitis B and C.
💡

Abstract

Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is often asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic in pediatric population, the severity of the disease increases by age. Immune-mediated extrahepatic extrahepatic manifestations and hematologic complications are mainly reported in adults with acute and chronic hepatitis B and C. However, they are relatively rare in children with HAV infection. There are few available pediatric reports in English literature about autoimmune complications of HAV infection. We reported hematologic manifestations of HAV infection including hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) and immune thrombocytopenic purpura as sole manifestations of HAV infection therefore in patients with these hematologic disorders, HAV infection should be kept in mind in the differential diagnosis even if they are not jaundiced.

Özet

Hepatit A virüs (HAV) enfeksiyonu çocukluk çağında genellikle asemptomatik ya da hafif seyirlidir, yaş arttıkça hastalığın ciddiyeti artar. Ekstrahepatik immün-aracılı bulgular ve hematolojik komplikasyonlar genellikle yetişkinlerde, akut ve kronik hepatit B ve C enfeksiyonlarının seyrinde bildirilmiştir. Çocukluk çağında oldukça nadirdir. İngilizce literatürde, çocuklarda hepatit A’nın otoimmün komplikasyonlarını bildiren olgu sunumları oldukça azdır. Bu çalışmada, immün trombositopenik purpura ve hemofagositik lenfohistiositoz (HLH) bulguları ile HAV tanısı alan iki çocuk olgu sunulmuştur, bu nedenle bu hastalıklarda tanı anında sarılık bulgusu olmasa da HAV enfeksiyonu akılda tutulmalıdır.
