description Prolonged cholestasis is a rare complication of hepatitis A infection, characterized by a protracted, indolent course with persistent symptoms of pruritus and malabsorption lasting for several months. A 14-year-old girl, previously treated for acute hepatitis A, presented with yellowing of the eyes. An evaluation of her liver function revealed conjugated hyperbilirubinemia, and a liver biopsy confirmed hepatitis with cholestasis. Fortunately, she responded well to conservative treatment and recovered successfully.
