We report the case of a patient with a recent coronavirus disease 2019 infection who presented with otherwise unexplained fulminant liver failure requiring urgent liver transplantation. Acute hepatitis and liver failure may occur secondary to coronavirus disease 2019 infection and require prompt recognition and management, including urgent liver transplantation for some patients with fulminant liver failure.
