Fulminant hepatitis is a rare complication of acute hepatitis A infection. Nevertheless, the seroepidemiology of the infection is rapidly changing with the developing world, rendering more adults susceptible to the infection, in particular with more severe course. We report here fulminant hepatitis A infection with a mortal course during an epidemic period in two siblings. Although it causes a self-limited mild disease, hepatitis A virus may have a severe course including fulminant hepatitis and may lead to mortality, especially in older ages. Hence, the risk of hepatitis A virus infection and its complications should be reduced with measures of immunization and sanitation.

Patients with type-1 diabetes are predisposed to develop a spectrum of liver diseases, which includes fatty liver, steatohepatitis and cirrhosis. The association of hepatitis A infection with type-1 diabetes is extremely rare. To the best of our knowledge, our case is the first case report in children. We described a nine year-old girl who had type-1 diabetes and developed hepatitis A virus infection without complications. A review of the literature is also provided.
