Abstract

Acute hepatitis of unknown origin in children has been recently described in the literature, and a case definition has also been proposed for this condition. The exact etiology is unknown and exclusion of infectious, metabolic, autoimmune and toxin mediated injuries is essential. Management for this condition is supportive, but some may require liver transplantation. Infection prevention and control practices are important as the etiology remains unidentified.

摘要

最近文献中描述了儿童不明原因急性肝炎，并且为此种情况提出了病例定义。确切病因尚不清楚，必须排除感染、代谢、自身免疫和毒素介导的损伤。这种情况的治疗是支持性的，但有些可能需要肝移植。由于病因仍未确定，感染预防和控制措施非常重要。
