Abstract EN
Disseminated herpes simplex virus (HSV) is a rare cause of acute fulminant liver failure.
We hereby present a case series of three patients with acute disseminated HSV with necrotizing hepatitis successfully treated with a week course of acyclovir.
Early empiric administration of acyclovir therapy while awaiting confirmatory tests is critical in this potentially lethal disease.
