摘要
Fulminant hepatic failure (FHF) is an unusual complication of visceralleishmaniasis (VL). Here, we present a 1.5-yr-old girl with VL developing rapidly progressive fatal FHF. In absence of established guidelines, additional use of immunomodulatory therapies has been discussed in reference to available information.
