Dengue Hemorrhagic Fever: ARare Cause of Acute Liver Failure.
Acute liver failure (ALF) is an acute medical emergency which carries high mortality without liver transplantation. Various hepatotropic viruses, drug induced liver injury, auto immune hepatitis, and metabolic liver diseases are the commonly implicated etiologic agents. Liver involvement in dengue hemorrhagic fever (DHF) is quite common, but acute liver failure is its rare complication. Neurological complications are also commonly seen in DHF. Ateenage girl presented with high grade fever and subconjunctival hemorrhage, and later developed jaundice due to acute liver failure. Liver transplantation could not be offered due to fungemia. During hospital stay, she had seizures and intracranial hemorrhage culminating in brain death. ALF with neurological involvement is a rare but very important and fatal complication of DHF; and it should be considered as a cause of acute liver failure, especially in endemic areas.
