A Rare Case of Acute on Chronic Liver Failure Triggered by Chikungunya Virus
Chikungunya is generally considered as a benign, self-limiting viral infection, which rarely involves liver, kidney, heart and nervous system. Hepatic involvement is usually in the form of mild, self-limiting asymptomatic acute hepatitis with minimal derangement of liver function. However, in uncommon circumstances the disease can lead to acute liver failure. Here we present a rare case of Chikungunya-induced acute on chronic liver failure from Bangladesh.
