“…8 Hepatitis or liver failure caused by influenza A virus has been recognized in patients with underlying cirrhosis, 9 children, 10 pregnant women, 11 and immunocompromised individuals such as renal and liver transplant recipients. 12,13 The degree of hepatic damage is proposed to be determined by the magnitude of CD8+ T-cell immune response and the interaction with pre-existing antibodies to influenza. Inadequate antibodies to counteract the influenza infection may trigger CD8+ T-cell response.…”

Patients with influenza infection most commonly present with upper and occasionally lower respiratory tract symptoms. However, extrapulmonary presentations such as hepatitis are infrequently observed. We report a case of a hemodialysis patient with influenza A infection who presented with severe hepatitis and liver failure, while his respiratory symptoms were mild. It is important to recognize influenza infection as an unexplained cause of hepatitis and liver failure. In our case, liver failure resolved with supportive treatment.

“…The current influenza virus vaccine does not protect against swine variant influenza viruses. Swine‐origin influenza A virus‐induced hepatocellular injury has been reported in a kidney transplant patient 85 . For transplant recipients who live on farms or are in any environment where pigs are being raised in large populations, providers should provide extensive strategies for safe living.…”

Approximately 70% (90.5 million) of United States (US) households own at least one pet. Dogs are the most common, making up about 38% of all household pets, followed by cats, which make up 25%. Other pets such as fish, birds, reptiles, and small animals such as hamsters, gerbils, and rabbits are less common household members. Pets are often considered a part of the family and there are significant medical and psychosocial benefits to pet ownership; however, the possibility of disease transmission exists related to the type of animal and infectious organism, and specific human risk factors. Immunocompromised individuals may be at increased risk of serious illness from zoonotic infections. During the transplant evaluation and routinely posttransplant, the multidisciplinary team should inquire about pet ownership and animal exposures to guide on potential risks. This review discusses the most common diseases seen in various household pets including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and some farm animals. We will also present guidelines for pet safety and include strategies to decrease the risk of infection while supporting the benefits of pet ownership after transplant.
