| Popis: | Neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection can cause skin disease or disseminated infection, resulting in hepatitis, pneumonitis, intravascular coagulopathy, or encephalitis (1). It is usually acquired perinatally, with a high mortality rate in disseminated disease (1–3). We describe a 12-day-old girl with fulminant hepatitis and fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) secondary to HSV type 2 infection who underwent a successful liver transplantation (LT). |
