By the age of 2 to 3 months, it becomes clear that an infant with neonatal hepatitis is not gaining weight and is growing at a slower than normal rate (failure to thrive). The infant may be irritable because of excessively itchy skin (pruritus).[rarediseases.org]
It is important to note that infants with biliary atresia might not necessarily present with typical symptoms of failure to thrive or ascites, 15 and the primary care physician must be suspicious of cholestasis in all cases of prolonged jaundice.[cfp.ca]

The hepatitis group had the highest frequencies of high-grade hepatomegaly and splenomegaly. Fifty six cases completely recovered. Two died of hepatic failure in early infancy and four had chronic liver diseases at the age of 12 months.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
There was jaundice and hepatomegaly. Others systems were normal.[pediatriconcall.com]
[…] idiopathic • By mid-2000s, idiopathic neonatal hepatitis (INH) comprised only 15-30% of neonatal cholestasis due to increased ability to detect and diagnose metabolic and genetic disorders previously considered idiopathic Clinical Issues • Jaundice • Hepatomegaly[basicmedicalkey.com]
The common symptoms include jaundice (yellow discoloration of the skin and the whites of the eyes) and hepatomegaly (liver enlargement). There are many reasons that can result in hepatitis.[biology-online.org]

The detection of Au-Ag in prolonged neonataljaundice with direct bilirubinemia favors a diagnosis of hepatitis type B, which in our experience carries a graver prognosis reflected in deaths and cirrhosis when compared to neonatal hepatitis not associated[pediatrics.aappublications.org]
At 30 hours of life, the infant was noted to have scleralicterus. Total and direct bilirubin was 26.6 and 15.1 mg/dl, respectively, and on repeat were 25.5 and 14.5 mg/dl.[nature.com]

Neonatal hepatitis refers to many forms of liverdysfunction that affects fetuses and neonates. [1] It is most often caused by viruses or metabolic diseases, and many cases are of an unknown cause. [2] Signs and symptoms [ edit ] The infant with neonatal[en.wikipedia.org]
If no specific cause of liverdysfunction is identified, neonatal hepatitis is the term used to describe the inflammatory process happening in the infant’s liver.[liver.ca]
We established a 3-day workup protocol for the differential diagnosis of biliary atresia and neonatal hepatitis and compared the diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and predictive values of various methods.[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Some children may require a liver biopsy as part of their diagnostic workup. If no specific cause of liver dysfunction is identified, neonatal hepatitis is the term used to describe the inflammatory process happening in the infant’s liver.[liver.ca]
Abstract A male infant presenting with neonatal hepatitis syndrome, characterized by conjugated hyperbilirubinemia and very mild liverfunctiontestabnormalities, at 2 weeks of age was found to have no excretion of radioisotope into the intestinal tract[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The mother was RPR-negative, hepatitis B surface antigen-negative, HIV-negative, chlamydia-negative, gonorrhea-negative, and rubella-immune. During pregnancy, the mother had two gynecological cytology exams, both within normal limits.[nature.com]

In 9 of 12 infants, liver disease resolved within 6 wk following treatment with thyroxine, hydrocortisone and, where appropriate, growth hormone, including Cases 9 and 1 in whom diagnosis and treatment were delayed until 3 mo and 3 y of age, respectively[ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
In addition to the standard treatments, our team of certified pediatric hepatologists is also at the forefront of treatment research, treating adolescents with newly approved treatments for adults and conducting clinical trials to help make them available[childrenshospital.org]
