Several damage rate occurs in liver during acute infections according to the infection agent. The exposure of the patient to two different infection causes at the same time is another situation complicating the diagnosis of infectious diseases. Hepatitis A virus and brucella are two factors that are observed from the childhood in developing countries as ours and presenting different pattern. Serological tests are used to benefit from differential diagnosis. In this study, the cases of hepatitis A and brucella co-infection in spite of the different contamination ways has been presented.
