Abstract

The authors report a case of type A viral hepatitis in an 8 year old boy in whom the clinical course was marked by prolonged cholestasis associated with porta hepatis lymphadenopathy. The positivity of anti-HVA IgM, the negativity of the other serodiagnostic tests, the parallel course of the hepatitis and the porta hepatis lymphadenopathy argus strongly in favour of the responsibility of hepatitis A in the development of this porta hepatis lymphadenopathy.
