Abstrak

Gallstones (GSs) are rare in children. The incidence of GSs has been increasing due to the utility of sonography in modern practice. Common causes of GSs in children include hemolytic anemias, obesity, metabolic syndrome, prematurity, necrotizing enterocolitis, cystic fibrosis, and total parenteral nutrition. Several studies evaluated the association between hepatic viral infection and GSs. There is a significantly increased risk of GSs among hepatitis C virus-infected patients and no significant association with hepatitis B virus infection. We report a child with acute hepatitis A infection who also had GS, which did not clear even after resolution of jaundice; probably, the detection of GS was coincidental rather than due to hepatitis A.
