| Response from Dr. McGovern
 Hepatitis A does not cause chronic liver disease. I am not sure why his liver function tests are abnormal, but would repeat them again to see if they are improving after his current illness. I would discuss with your provider what kind of viral meningitis your father has. The type of viral meningitis is important since people with coxsackie virus may recover faster than someone with West Nile, for example. Many people who have viral meningitis never know the exact cause; but they do recover over time. | ||||||||
