Özet
Hepatitis A is one of the most frequent infectious liver diseases affecting children worldwide. Extra-hepatic manifestations of acute hepatitis A virus are rare in pediatric age group. We report a case of a 16-year-old, otherwise healthy adolescent who had viral hepatitis A with cardiac manifestations. The patient is the first pediatric case of hepatitis A with a combination of hypotension, persistent bradycardia and progressive cholestasis. © 2006 The British Infection Society.
