Abstract

Acute hepatitis A is a frequent public health problem that is mostly seen in childhood, particularly in developing countries. It is the most frequent viral hepatitis. Our country is classified as a moderate endemic region for hepatitis A virus infection. Hepatitis A infection is usually asymptomatic in childhood; however, the course of infection can be more severe at older ages and the infection may end with fulminant hepatic failure, although this is rare. Different extrahepatic findings have been reported to be associated with hepatitis A virus infection. Pleural effusion is a rare complication of hepatitis A. In this report, we present a pediatric case of hepatitis A together with pleural effusion and ascites in which the patient fully recovered by supportive care after presenting to the hospital.

Özet

Akut hepatit A özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde daha çok çocukluk çağında görülen ve sık karşılaşılan bir halk sağlığı sorunudur. Akut hepatit A en sık görülen viral hepatittir. Ülkemiz hepatit A virus enfeksiyonu açısından orta endemik bölge olarak tanımlanır. Çocukluk çağında enfeksiyon genelde asemptomatik olarak geçirilir ancak yaş arttıkça hepatit A virus enfeksiyonu seyri şiddetlenebilir ve nadiren fulminan hepatik yetmezlikle de sonuçlanabilir. Hepatit A virüs enfeksiyonuna bağlı olarak gelişen farklı ekstrahepatik bulgular tanımlanmıştır. Plevral efüzyon hepatit A'nın nadir görülen bir komplikasyonudur. Burada hepatit A enfeksiyonu ile birlikte plevral efüzyon ve asitle başvuran ve destek tedaviyle bu komplikasyonları tamamen iyileşen bir çocuk olgu sunulmuştur.
