Abstract

The human parainfluenza viruses are common causes of upper and lower respiratory tract infection; however, nonrespiratory infections with human parainfluenza viruses are rare, and there are no reports of pediatric cases of liver enzyme elevation. We present 2 pediatric patients who developed liver enzyme elevation related to human parainfluenza virus type 3 infection.
