Pleural Effusion a Rare Extra-Hepatic Manifestation of Hepatitis A
Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Medical Case Reports - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 11
Abstract
Hepatitis A is the most common cause of viral hepatitis in childhood. Clinical spectrum of the hepatitis A ranges from mostly asymptomatic to fulminant hepatic failure. Pleural effusion, ascites and anasarca are very rare extra-hepatic complications of hepatitis A. The etiology is not clearly understood, but they tend to undergo spontaneous resolution and do not warrant specific diagnostic or therapeutic measures. We present a case of pleural effusion as an atypical presentation of hepatitis A. Keywords: hepatitis a, pleural effusion, icterus, hepatomegaly.
