Core Tip This article explores the emerging link between acute hepatitis A virus infection and the onset of autoimmune hepatitis, integrating current evidence with clinical experience. It highlights the immunopathogenic mechanisms potentially responsible for hepatitis A virus-triggered autoimmunity and discusses diagnostic and therapeutic challenges in distinguishing post-viral hepatitis from de novo autoimmune hepatitis. Emphasizing the importance of early recognition and guideline-based management, the review underscores how awareness of this rare but significant association can improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
