(EHBA) are infected with cytomegalovirus (CMV) and to ascertain the age at referral to a …

Background Biliary atresia (BA) is the most severe hepatic disorder in newborns and its
etiopathogenesis remains unknown. Viral involvement has been proposed, including the …

Background The etiology of biliary atresia is still unknown. It is generally accepted that virus

The cause of extrahepatic biliary atresia (EHBA) is undetermined in most instances, but an
infectious agent is widely suspected. Cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection has been associated …

Several etiological factors have been suggested in the pathogenesis of extrahepatic biliary
