Abstract

Hepatitis A is the most common cause of viral hepatitis in children. Its association with pleural effusion has rarely been reported. The present communication describes three cases of hepatitis A associated with pleural effusion. All three had complete clinical, biochemical and radiological recovery. In view of spontaneous resolution, diagnostic or therapeutic pleural tap is not warranted.

摘要

甲型肝炎是儿童病毒性肝炎最常见的病因。其与胸腔积液的关联鲜有报道。本通讯描述了三例与胸腔积液相关的甲型肝炎病例。所有三例患者在临床、生化和影像学方面均完全康复。鉴于其自行消退，无需进行诊断性或治疗性胸腔穿刺。
