Hepatite de Lábrea em Salvador, BA?: (Apresentação de um possível caso) Labrea hepatitis in Salvador, BA?: (Report of a possible case)

Abstract

Um menino de quatro anos de idade, natural e residente em Salvador, Bahia, apresentou uma doença febril, de curso rápido com febre, icterícia, dores abdominais, agitação psicomotora, coma e morte no 7º dia do internamento. Histologicamente o fígado exibiu extensa necrose lítica e de coagulação dos hepatócitos, além de degeneração gordurosa aguda ("células em mórula"), infiltração mononuclear e colestase, um quadro considerado tipico da hepatite de Lábrea. A existência de tal caso levanta o problema da ocorrência de hepatite de Lábrea fora da Região Amazônica ou aquele de falta de especificidade do quadro histopatológico considerado como típico da referida condição.A case of a four-year-old boy from Salvador, Bahia, Brazil, with a probable Labrea hepatitis is reported. He ran a rapid course of fever, jaundice, abdominal pain, agitation, coma and death. Histologically, the liver presented widespread hepatic cell lytic and coagulative necrosis, acute fatty changes, mononuclear cell infiltration and cholestasis. The study of the case raises the question whether Lábrea hepatitis can occur outside the Amazonian region, or else its clinico-pathological features lack specificity.
