Abstract

In children, acute viral hepatitis-A infection is usually a self-limiting illness. In most children, it resolves uneventfully within weeks from the onset of disease. However, rare presentations like acute acalculous cholecystitis and persistent cholestatic jaundice have been reported. We report on a 7-year-old boy with prolonged cholestatic jaundice, which resolved without steroid treatment.
