Final answer:
The statement is False. Hepatitis A viral infections do not present with a relapsing, remitting pattern, but rather are typically self-limiting within weeks to months. HAV is known for acute infections and, in rare cases, can lead to fulminant hepatitis.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement that describes the relapsing, remitting variant of hepatitis A viral infection as characterized by multiple clinical or biochemical relapses with spontaneous improvement within months to 1 year without intervention is False. Hepatitis A (HAV) infections are usually asymptomatic or mild and are typically self-limiting within a few weeks to months. HAV does not have a relapsing, remitting variant as described in the question. Unlike HAV, Hepatitis C (HCV) can have a long-term chronic infection phase, but this is not a characteristic of the typically acute hepatitis A virus infection. HAV is more commonly known for its potential to cause fulminant hepatitis, which is rare but very severe, with a high fatality rate.
