Abstract

Herpes simplex hepatitis is a rare cause of acute hepatitis in immunocompetent patients. Herpes hepatitis presents with nonspecific symptoms like fever, loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain. Elevated transaminase values with leukopenia, relatively low bilirubin level and mucosal herpetic lesions often provide clues to the diagnosis. We describe an immunocompetent woman with herpes simplex hepatitis presenting with multiple hypodense lesions in the liver and mucocutaneous herpetic lesions.

Özet

Herpes simpleks virüsler immunkompetan kişide nadiren akut hepatit sebebidir. Herpes hepatit ateş, iştahsızlık, bulantı-kusma, karın ağrısı gibi nonspesifik semptomlar ile başlar. Transaminaz yüksekliği, lökopeni, düşük bilirubin düzeyleri ve mukokutanöz lezyonların varlığı tanıda yol gösterici olabilir. Bu yazıda da karaciğerde multiple hipodens lezyonlar ve mokozal herpetik lezyonlarla karakterize bir herpes hepatit olgusu sunulmuştur.
