Adenoviruses are common viral pathogens in childhood; however, they can cause serious disease in an immunocompromised host. Fulminant hepatitis is a rare complication of adenoviral infection. We report herein a case of fatal fulminant hepatitis possibly caused by adenovirus infection. Although rare, adenovirus infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of acute liver failure in immunocompetent children.
腺病毒是儿童常见的病毒病原体；然而，它们可在免疫功能低下的宿主中引起严重疾病。暴发性肝炎是腺病毒感染的一种罕见并发症。我们在此报告一例可能由腺病毒感染引起的致命性暴发性肝炎病例。尽管罕见，但在免疫功能正常儿童急性肝衰竭的鉴别诊断中应考虑腺病毒感染。
