Summary		Izhodišča. V literaturi je malo podatkov o kroničnem hepatitisu v otroški dobi. Navedeni so številni vzroki tako infekcijski kot neinfekcijski. Bolniki in metode. V retrospektivno študijo smo vključili otroke s kroničnim hepatitisom, stare od 0 do 15 let, zdravljene na Kliniki za infekcijske bolezni in vročinska stanja v Ljubljani v obdobju od leta 1974-1995, pri katerih smo diagnozo potrdili s histološkim pregledom jetrnega punktata. Rezultati. V preiskovalnem obdobju smo hospitalizirali 42 otrok s kroničnim hepatitisom. 22 otrok je prebolevalo kronični hepatitis B, 16 otrok avtoimuni hepatitis, dva kronični hepatitis ne A ne B, en otrok je imel kronični hepatitis pridružen EBV okužbi in pri enem otroku smo ugotovili diagnozo glikogenoze tip IV. Zaključki. Kronični hepatitis pri otroku je redka bolezen. Pomembno je, da čimprej ugotovimo etiologijo in da bolnika ustrezno zdravimo.
