Acute hepatitis A is a rarely seen infection during preg­nancy. In terms of clinical and laboratory findings, it can be interfere with acute fatty liver disease which can be quite mortal during pregnancy. Since liver function tests are el­evated in both conditions, hepatitis A infection should also be kept in mind in differential diagnosis. We present a 30 year-old pregnant woman with 35 weeks of gestation who presented to our clinic with a suspection of acute fatty liver disease but finally diagnosed as acute hepatitis A in­fection.

Öz

Gebelikte akut hepatit A enfeksiyonu oldukça nadir görül­mektedir. Klinik ve laboratuar bulgularıyla gebelikte olduk­ça mortal seyredebilen gebeliğin akut yağlı karaciğer has­talığı ile karışabilmektedir. Karaciğer fonksiyon testlerinde yükseklik izlenen her iki durumun ayırıcı tanısı yapılmalı ve bu tabloyla gelen bir hastada hepatit A enfeksiyonu da akla gelmelidir. Kliniğimize başvurusunda, gebeliğin akut yağlı karaciğer hastalığı tanısı sonrasında akut hepatit A tanısı alan, 30 yaşında 35 haftalık gebeliği olan bir olgu sunulmuştur.
