Abstract

Hepatitis A virus infection is typically an acute self-limiting illness associated with general nonspecific symptoms such as fever, malaise, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain or discomfort,
and diarrhea. This may have atypical manifestation like prolonged cholestasis. Despite having
varying typical and atypical manifestations such a case may present with life-threatening bleeding
from a co-existing surgical cause such as perforation of Meckel’s diverticulum.
