cord-346967-br4kpm6i	Bongiovanni, Marco	Acute hepatitis caused by asymptomatic COVID-19 infection	2020-09-03		.txt	text/plain	924	60	46	Acute liver injury at admission is a quite common finding in subjects affected by COVID-19 pneumonia (5) ; although the elevation of aminotransferases is usually mild, it seems associated with disease severity. In particular, it has been demonstrated that SARS-CoV-2 infection in the liver directly contributes to hepatic impairment in patients with COVID-19 pneumonia (6) . We report here the case of a young woman diagnosed with COVID-19 infection in absence of respiratory symptoms, presenting at the admission with significant elevation of liver function tests compatible with acute hepatitis. (8) described a non-icteric, acute hepatitis in an HIV-infected woman, but their patient developed overt respiratory symptoms in the hours immediately following diagnosis and also had other possible causes of liver tests abnormalities such as the use of concomitant drugs and a fair number of comorbidities. Mild-to moderate liver test abnormalities are becoming a frequent finding in subjects admitted to hospital for COVID-19 infection.	./cache/cord-346967-br4kpm6i.txt	./txt/cord-346967-br4kpm6i.txt
