| Abstract: | Varicella Zoster Virus (VZV) infection progresses to Fulminant Hepatic Failure (FHF) which is very rare and fatal. Mostly diagnosis of VZV infection becomes difficult due to initial normal liver function tests and absence of early typical vesicular rash. Hence ideal management could not be provided. Low dose steroid therapy carries a risk for VZV to progress to FHF, as the patient becomes immunocompromised. This is a case of VZV induced FHF of a 36 years old female patient who was on low dose steroid therapy for bronchial asthma management . She developed vesicular rashes on second day of admission and had elevated liver enzymes. Treatment as done with IV Acyclovir. On fourth day, there was persistent rashes and rapidly rising liver enzymes and resulted in multi organ failure and death. |
