Abstract

Adenoviruses are common viral pathogens in childhood; however, they can cause serious disease in an immunocompromised host. Fulminant hepatitis is a rare complication of adenoviral infection. We report herein a case of fatal fulminant hepatitis possibly caused by adenovirus infection. Although rare, adenovirus infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute liver failure in immunocompetent children.

Özet

Adenoviruslar çocukluk çağında yaygın olarak görülen viral infeksiyonlardır. Fakat, immunsupresif kişilerde ciddi hastalıklara neden olabilirler. Fulminan hepatit, adenoviral infeksiyonun nadir bir komlikasyonudur. Bu yazıda adenovirus infeksiyonuna bağlı olabileceği düşünülen fatal seyreden fulminan hepatitli bir olgu sunulmuştur. Nadir olmasına rağmen immunsupresif olmayan çocuklarda akut karaciğer yetmezliğinde adenovirus infeksiyonları ayırıcı tanıda düşünülmelidir.
