| Core Tip |
Fatal fulminant herpetic hepatitis developed in a 72-year-old healthy man following ordinary surgery for biliary stones. A. sudden onset of hepatitis associated with high fever and leukopenia emerged on postoperative day 5, followed by a rapid and lethal course (died on day 9), despite an acyclovir treatment on day 8. A literature review showed that (1): A wide spectrum of surgical procedures is involved; and (2): High mortality (87%) associated with low rates of ante-mortem diagnosis (20%) and acyclovir treatment (20%). An early clinical suspension and prompt empirical anti-viral intervention are imperative for postsurgical hepatitis with undetermined etiology, characterized by fever and leucopenia. |
