Although the prognosis of neonatal herpes simplex virus (HSV) infection has improved with intravenous acyclovir, the morbidity and mortality of disseminated disease remains high. Transaminitis and thrombocytopenia have been reported to be sensitive markers of neonatal HSV disease; however, early diagnosis remains a challenge due to a lack of specific clinical and laboratory indicators for this disease process. Ferritin, an acute phase reactant known for its use in diagnosing hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis, has recently been reported as extremely elevated in neonates with disseminated HSV due to its high inflammatory nature.

This review compiles the current state of controversial aspects of liver failure and outlines future challenges. The definition of acute liver failure (ALF) is widely accepted and implies no previous liver injury whereas the term "acute-on-chronic liver failure" remains contested. We will promote a concept, in which we differentiate three types of liver failure: ALF, acute-on-chronic liver failure (AOCLF) and acute-on-liver-cirrhosis (AOCi). Read More
