Measles is known to cause self-limiting illness, mostly in children. Measles is a systemic infection with known complications but information regarding the consequences of liver involvement is limited. Fulminant hepatic failure has been reported rarely in very young children. We present here a case of fulminant hepatitis in a 6-month-old child with measles from central India.
