Abstract

In many countries fix cases of severe liver damage in children are recorded. A previous or existing coronavirus infection leads to a disruption in the body’s immune response to infections, which can lead to severe inflammation that caused liver damage. This article describes a clinical case of type 2 autoimmune hepatitis, a high degree of biochemical activity, that debuted in an 11-month-old child after a new coronavirus infection (COVID-19). The presented clinical example demonstrates the need for a thorough and comprehensive examination of children with the first clinical manifestations of liver damage and timely prescription of therapy
