In previously published studies ursodeoxycholic acid showed some beneficial effects on the course of acute viral hepatitis in adults.In this case report, two children aged 5 and 12 years old with hepatitis A virus infectionrelated cholestasis were presented. The clinical and laboratory manifestations were improved after one-monthursodeoxycholic acid therapy in our patients.We conclude that ursodeoxycholic acid has a beneficial effect on the course of the acute hepatitis A virus infection-related cholestasis.
