    Abstract:
    The results of study of the clinical picture and outcomes of type A viral hepatitis (HA) in 80 male adolescents aged 15-18 years are presented. The diagnosis was confirmed serologically. A greater incidence of the protracted forms of HA has been found in adolescents which in most cases had a favourable outcome. Protracted hepatitis was marked by long-term persistence of anti-HVA IgM. The chronic form of viral hepatitis had a course of a mixed A and B viral infection.
