title: Relapsing hepatitis A in children: report of two cases.
abstract: Viral A hepatitis is a self-limited infection occurring predominantly among children usually as an anicteric often subclinical illness. After a stage of typical hepatitis A, a biphasic or relapsing form of viral hepatitis A (R-HA) may occur. Although relapse occurs in 3 to 21% of patients with acute hepatitis A, the patients with R-HA have been unusually reported in the literature. In this article, we report two children with R-HA because of unusual presentation and to draw attention to the importance of R-EA.
