Abstract

Pleural effusion is a rare complication of atypical hepatitis A virus infection. It was proposed that immune complexes or local inflammation within the liver might be the cause of pleural effusion. In this case report, an 8 year-old girl with hepatitis A virus infection and unilateral pleural effusion was presented and the pathogenesis of this relation was discussed.

Özet

Plevral efüzyon, atipik hepatit A virus (HAV) infeksiyonunun nadir bir komplikasyonudur. Plevral efüzyondan infeksiyon sırasında ortaya çıkan immün komplekslerin ya da karaciğerdeki lokal inflamasyonun sorumlu olabileceği ileri sürülmüştür. Bu yazıda, HAV infeksiyonu sırasında tek taraflı plevral efüzyon gelişen 8 yaşında bir kız hasta sunularak bu durumun patogenezi tartışılmıştır.
