Can infant hepatitis syndrome cause death?

Patient's question:

My baby has developed hepatitis syndrome and is currently being treated. However, I feel like there's no effect at all, so I'm a bit worried and sad, wondering if I might lose my child. Hello, will infant hepatitis syndrome lead to death?

Doctor's answer:

A group of symptoms caused by different etiologies, primarily characterized by jaundice, liver function damage, and hepatosplenomegaly. Recent studies suggest that this disease may be caused by a certain pathogen leading to an increase and persistence of physiological biliary obstruction during the perinatal period. Liver biopsies reveal multinuclear giant cell transformation and inflammatory changes in hepatocytes. If detected in time and treated actively, hepatitis syndrome can be cured. Do not give up on treatment.
