Abstract
The role of adenovirus as an etiologic agent of hepatic damage has been controversial. A fatal case of adenovirus infection with fulminant hepatitis in a young immunosuppressed adult patient is presented. Intranuclear inclusions were confined to the liver. Electron microscopy revealed crystalline arrays of virions within hepatocytes. This is apparently the first reported case of adenovirus hepatitis occurring in an adult. Adenovirus hepatitis represents another hazard for the immunosuppressed patient.Keywords
