Dr. Kinisha R. Patel, Dr. Manoj G. Patil
Abstract :
Acute hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection is a very common viral disease of childhood especially in developing countries. It is usually self limiting, rarely accompanied by extrahepatic complication. Pleural effusion and ascites are rare complication of hepatitis A. Its appearance, however, does not indicate an unfavorable outcome. In this article we report 3 cases of Hepatitis A with pleural effusion and ascites with pleural fluid examination suggestive of exudative cause of effusion. All 3 cases showed clinical, radiological improvement after treatment. Pediatricians in developing countries should be aware of this rare association to avoid unnecessary investigations.
