- W4366985886 abstract "Acute liver failure (ALF) is a severe clinical condition with a high mortality rate. Although several factors can cause ALF, viral hepatitis remains one of the leading causes. Hepatitis A virus (HAV) and hepatitis E virus (HEV), which typically cause self-limiting acute disease, are rare but emerging causes of ALF, especially when both viruses infect the same individual. Both of these hepatotropic viruses share an enteric route and are most commonly transmitted through the fecal-oral route. The impact of HAV/HEV co-infection on acute hepatitis prognosis is not entirely understood, but dual infection can further exacerbate liver damage, leading to fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) with a higher mortality rate than a single virus infection. Here, we present a case of a 32-year-old male with no prior liver disease who presented to the emergency department with a two-week history of jaundice, abdominal pain, and hepatomegaly. Upon admission, he was disoriented with grade 2 encephalopathy. After a thorough investigation, co-infection with hepatitis A and E was identified as the primary cause of his ALF. The patient underwent intensive medical treatment and interventions, including dialysis. Unfortunately, the patient's survival was not possible due to the absence of availability of a transplanted organ, which is currently the only definitive treatment option. This case report underscores the significance of prompt diagnosis, timely intervention, and the accessibility of transplantation in the survival of liver failure, as it remains the sole definitive treatment for acute liver failure. Moreover, it provides a concise overview of the current literature on fulminant co-infection of HAV and HEV, including epidemiology, clinical characteristics, pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment, and risk factors associated with co-infection of hepatitis A and E and their role in causing ALF. It also highlights the significance of identifying high-risk populations and implementing appropriate prevention and control measures such as vaccination, practising good hygiene and sanitation, and avoiding the consumption of contaminated food and water." @default.
