Abstract

Except hepatitis A virus, hepatitis E virus is responsible for the majority of enteric-transmitted viral hepatitis cases. There are a few reports related to clinical significance of co-infection with both of the viruses in children. Here we present two cases, aged 10 and 12 years, who developed hepatitis A and hepatitis E co-infection that mimics fulminant hepatitis.

Özet

Hepatit A virüs dışındaki enterik geçişli viral hepatit olgularının çoğundan hepatit E virüs sorumludur. Çocuklarda bu iki virüsün birlikteliğinin klinik önemi ile ilgili çok az yayın vardır. Yazımızda, fulminan hepatiti taklit eden, eşzamanlı hepatit A ve hepatit E virüs enfeksiyonu tanısı alan, 10 ve 12 yaşlarında iki kız olgu sunulmaktadır.
