This is most likely hepatitis A infection, which carries a very low chance of long-term sequelae. Chronic hepatitis such as that seen with hepatitis B is very rare. In HAV infection, an incubation period of 15-45 days (mean 25 days) is usually followed by fever; anorexia (poor appetite); nausea; pain in the right upper abdominal quadrant; and, within several days, jaundice. Dark urine and clay-colored stools may be noticed by the patient 1 to 5 days before the onset of clinical jaundice. The liver is enlarged and tender, and serum aminotransferase and bilirubin levels are elevated as a result of hepatic inflammation and damage. Recovery occurs in days to weeks.
