Fulminant varicella hepatitis in a human immunodeficiency virus infected patient: case report and review of the literature
Scand J Infect Dis.
2006.
Abstract
We report the case of a 35-y-old HIV-infected female, who presented fulminant varicella hepatitis and recovered under medical treatment. Varicella zoster virus is an uncommon cause of acute liver disease which occurs mainly in immunocompromised patients. Acyclovir is the cornerstone of the treatment.
