Abstract

Hepatitis viruses A to E can cause abnormal liver function tests in children. Although, overall, they are relatively uncommon in children in Australia, epidemiology diagnosis and treatment modalities for these viruses have evolved over the last decade. This review provides an update on the diagnosis and treatment of viral hepatitis in children.
