Abstract:
Anicteric hepatitis A infection can rarely present as ascites, pleural effusion, acute renal failure,
aplastic anemia and fulminant hepatic failure. Association of hepatitis A infection with acute
acalculus cholecystitis is known but rare. Primary acute acalculous cholecystitis in children is
rare and commonly associated with systemic infections. We report a child developing acute
aclaculus cholecystitis as a presenting feature of sporadic Hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection and
review of HAV associated infection in children.
