Children with hepatitis A often exhibit asymptomatic cases due to their generally robust immune response and the mild nature of the virus in younger populations. Their immune systems can effectively manage the infection without triggering severe symptoms, leading to a higher likelihood of asymptomatic cases compared to adults. Additionally, the viral load in children may be lower, resulting in minimal impact on liver function and overall health. Consequently, many children may not exhibit the classic symptoms associated with hepatitis A, such as jaundice or abdominal pain.
