Abstract:
The pathologic changes in the liver of a child with human immunodeficiency virus infection are described. The liver biopsy specimens show chronic active hepatitis with bile duct damage. To our knowledge, the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic liver disease in children with acquired immunodeficiency syndrome is not known. In this child, chronic active hepatitis is probably related to hepatitis B.
