BMJ open, 10(7), e037473.http://dx.doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2020-0374732044-6055https://nru.uncst.go.ug/handle/123456789/7795The aetiology and burden of viral-induced acute liver failure remains unclear globally. It is important to understand the epidemiology of viral-induced ALF to plan for clinical case management and case prevention. Immunisation against hepatitis A and hepatitis B should be prioritised in low-income and middle-income countries to prevent high viral-induced acute liver failure mortality rates, especially in settings where resources for managing acute liver failure are lacking. The expanded use of hepatitis E immunisation should be explored as hepatitis E virus was the most common cause of acute liver failure.enaetiologyviral-induced acute liver failurehepatitis A and hepatitis BArticle
