Hepatitis A Anyone?

DH and I took Child #3 in to the doctor today for a follow up appointment. Child #3 is feeling much better, but he still has abdominal pain. Turns out his spleen was in fine shape and it was just his liver that was inflamed. The doctor, who has been our family doctor for 15 years, thought this was merely an enterovirus, which is the second most common virus after the rhinovirus, or common cold. Enterovirus symptoms are similar to the flu: upper respiratory infections and fever. But we had more than just that. We had Hepatitis A symptoms: liver enzymes in the blood. And Child #3 had his Hepatitis A vaccine a month ago. I've read that Hepatitis A has an incubation period of 2 to 6 weeks. But there is no way to tell if he was infected by a bad vaccine or actually caught a virus just before the vaccine because the only way to tell if you actually had Hepatits A is to get an antibody test. And both the vaccine and the disease leave antibodies in the blood. We have another appointment in two weeks to see if the liver enzyme levels have decreased so stay tuned!
