Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a chronic immune-mediated liver disease of complex and multifactorial origin, arising from the interplay of genetic susceptibility and environmental triggers. Among infectious factors, hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection has emerged as a potential precipitant of autoimmune responses leading to AIH onset. This mini-review explores the current understanding of HAV-induced AIH, summarizing available literature on its epidemiology, proposed immunopathogenic mechanisms, an
