Abstract
We present a case report of a living liver donor death from Herpes simplex hepatitis, highlighting the need for vigilance regarding rare but treatable causes of acute liver failure after donor hepatectomy. Early consideration of HSV hepatitis and prompt initiation of antiviral therapy may improve outcomes.
