Herpes Simplex Hepatitis Presenting as Fulminant Hepatic Failure in Pregnancy
Herpes simplex hepatitis can progress to fulminant hepatic failure in immunocompromised patients as well as in pregnancy due to alterations in T cell-mediated immunity in these populations. If not identified early, herpes simplex virus (HSV) hepatitis will progress to fulminant hepatic failure requiring liver transplantation. Early identification and treatment with acyclovir can be life-saving as HSV hepatitis in pregnancy has been found to be associated with high mortality rate. We report the case of a 23-year-old woman who developed HSV-induced fulminant hepatic failure in the third trimester of pregnancy.
期刊介绍:
Indian Association of Clinical Medicine is an academic body constituted in the year 1992 by a group of clinicians with the main aim of reaffirming the importance of clinical medicine in this era of high-tech diagnostic modalities. There is no doubt that modern investigational methods have contributed a lot to the present day medical practice but that does not render clinical acumen and examination less important. The art and science of clinical medicine helps up to make proper and judicious use of investigations and not these be the sole basis of our practice. That is the basic idea behind this ''Association''. We presently have members and fellows of the association from all over the country. In August, 2002 the body was registered as "Indian Association of Clinical Medicine" by the Registrar of Societies, Delhi.
