Abstract

Liver enzymes abnormalities are one of the reported presentations of coronavirus infection mostly in hospitalized patients. It is important that physicians take all the possible causes of acute hepatitis in consideration when dealing with abnormal liver enzymes in a patient with COVID-19 infection to reduce the risk of overlooking the underlying disease. Hereby, we reported case of a 39-year-Old man who presented with severe acute hepatitis and was infected with COVID-19, hepatitis A and herpes simplex virus simultaneously. © 2021 The Authors.
