title: Occurrence of acute hepatitis A in patients infected with human immunodeficiency virus.
abstract: We conducted a descriptive study in 9 cases of acute hepatitis A diagnosed in patients with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Despite the small number of cases studied, the results indicate that moderate HIV infection does not impair the natural history of acute hepatitis A.
