Abstract

Hepatitis A infection is an acute, self limitting disease due to infection of the liver by hepatitis A virus , an enterically trasmitted virus which is a member of the Picornaviridae family. The infection may be asymptomatic or cause an acute hepatitis syndrome of varying degrees of severity up to and including fulminant hepatitis. While the duration of symptoms may vary widely, the disease does not lead to chronic hepatitis. In this study, the characteristics of cases admitting with acute hepatitis diagnosed as having hepatitis A infection and the follow-up of cholestatic hepatitis, which is the most common complication of hepatitis A infection, are investigated.

Özet

Hepatit A enfeksiyonu, enterik yolla bulaşan, Picornaviridae ailesinden bir virüs olan hepatit A virüsünün yol açtığı, akut, çoğunlukla kendi kendini sınırlayan bir hastalıktır. Hastalık, asemptomatik geçirilebileceği gibi, fulminan hepatititin de içinde olduğu çeşitli şiddette klinik tablolara da yol açabilmektedir. Semptomların süresi değişebilmekle birlikte, hepatit A kronik hepatite yol açmamaktadır. Bu çalışma ile hepatitle başvuran ve akut hepatit A tanısı konulan çocuk vakaların özellikleri ve hepatit A enfeksiyonunun en sık karşılaşılan komplikasyonu olan kolestatik hepatitin seyrinin değerlendirilmesi planlanmıştır.
