Abstract
Authors studied 96 children, 56 boys and 40 girls, aged 1 to 16 years, with acute viral hepatitis. 53 patients were diagnosed of hepatitis a virus (HAV) detecting antibodies to HAV of the IgM class; 11 patients were diagnosed of hepatitis B virus (HBV) detecting serologic markers; 32 patients were diagnosed of non A-non B hepatitis. There were no serologic evidence of infection with cytomegalovirus and Epstein-barr virus. They report an analytical and clinical comparative study of acute viral hepatitis, and their evolution during a year, not finding any significative statistic difference. Two patients with HBV remained chronically infected.
