A seven-year-old child developed ascites when recovering from hepatitis A infection. Accumulation of intraperitoneal fluid was confirmed by ultrasonic study. The clinical course was otherwise uneventful and the ascites disappeared after a few days with no treatment, and did not recur for five years. Ascites may exceptionally accompany hepatitis A infection. Its appearance, however, does not indicate an unfavorable outcome.
一名七岁儿童在甲型肝炎感染康复过程中出现腹水。超声检查证实有腹腔积液。临床过程并无其他异常,未经治疗,腹水在数天后消失,且五年内未复发。腹水可能偶尔伴随甲型肝炎感染出现。然而,其出现并不预示预后不良。
