Glyphosate Poisoning with Acute Fulminant Hepatic Failure

Background: Glyphosate containing herbicides are widely used the world over. They are marketed as nontoxic to humans, but numerous studies have showed that these glyphosate-based herbicides (GlySH) can cause multiorgan damage.1 Recent reports of animal studies on rats have raised a doubt of liver damage after long term exposure to GlySH. Case Presentation: a young male had chronic exposure to G...

Fulminant hepatic failure in a neonate with systemic echovirus infection

We report the fatal case of neonatal fulminant hepatic failure due to Echovirus infection mimicking an acute metabolic decompensation. After exclusion of several metabolic disorders, the diagnosis of the infectious etiology was confirmed by Polymerase Chain Reaction of Echovirus in liver and spleen tissue. Establishment of etiological diagnosis and exclusion of inherited metabolic disease helpe...
