Dengue hepatitis is mostly asymptomatic but can lead to liver failure. Autoimmune hepatitis is mainly the disease of females and a potentially treatable cause of chronic liver disease. We report a rare case in which autoimmune hepatitis was unmasked by Dengue infection. The patient was managed for AIH with steroids and azathioprine and became asymptomatic in 30 days. Dengue is a proven risk factor for many autoimmune conditions but its association with AIH is not studied.
登革热肝炎大多无症状，但可导致肝衰竭。自身免疫性肝炎主要发生于女性，是一种潜在可治疗的慢性肝病病因。我们报告了一例由登革热感染引发的自身免疫性肝炎，较为罕见。该患者接受了类固醇和硫唑嘌呤治疗自身免疫性肝炎，30 天后症状消失。登革热是许多自身免疫性疾病的已知危险因素，但与 AIH 的关联尚未得到研究。
