In another study published in the Lancet in February 2020 by Huang et al., an increase in aspartate aminotransferase (AST) was observed in 62% in intensive care unit (ICU) patients compared to 25% in non-ICU patients, indicating that more severe disease correlates with worsening of liver enzymes [10] . Here, we report a case of acute liver failure in an elderly patient with COVID-19 infection who did not have a history of preexisting liver disease. Here, we report a case of acute liver failure in an elderly patient with COVID-19 infection who did not have a history of preexisting liver disease. In summary, we describe the first case of acute liver failure caused by the COVID-19 infection.	./cache/cord-339786-elrzlbsg.txt	./txt/cord-339786-elrzlbsg.txt
