A case of acute hepatitis with chickenpox in a young child

Abstract

The article presents a case of an unusual course of chickenpox in a young child (1.5 months). The development of acute hepatitis against the background of the course of the disease is described.This clinical observation clearly demonstrates that the varicella zoster virus, like other viruses from the herpes family, is secondary hepatotropic and is capable of causing acute hepatitis. This experience allows us to recommend assessing liver function in patients with chickenpox, and, if abnormalities are found, supplement the standard therapy with the appointment of hepatoprotectors.
