摘要：
Acute -on -chronic liver failure (ACLF) is a clinical syndrome with high mortality. Many acute precipitating factors have been implicated in triggering the acute event of ACLF, with bacterial infections being a common precipitant. However, many other precipitants can cause ACLF; therefore, identification of these factors early in the golden window and their treatment can result in improved prognosis. Scrub typhus usually presents as uncomplicated acute febrile illness but rarely as complicated. Few case reports of scrub -typhus -induced acute liver failure have been reported but none with scrub -typhus -precipitating ACLF so far. Therefore, we are reporting a case of scrub -typhus -precipitating ACLF, where timely intervention with antibiotics results in improved outcome. ( J CLIN EXP HEPATOL 2024;14:101344)
