case_images: Gradually, the patient's mental status became normal, and liver function, coagulation profiles and other biochemical variables improved notably (Fig. 1).
case_images: Initial liver biopsy performed on day 12 of hospitalization. (A) Massive hepatocellular necrosis was mainly located in zone 3 with moderately inflammatory infiltration (Hematoxylin and eosin staining x 200). (B) No obvious deposition of fibrous tissue observed within portal tracts (Masson's trichrome staining x 100).

case_images: Bile ducts appeared normal except for cholangioles with bile plugs (Fig. 2).
case_images: Repeat liver biopsy performed 6 months after discharge. (A) Distortion of lobular structure of the liver accompanied by scattered foci of hepatocellular necrosis within lobules and lymphocytic piecemeal necrosis (Hematoxylin and eosin staining x 200). (B) Expanded portal tracts with fibrous septa indicative of postnecrotic hepatic cirrhosis (Masson's trichrome staining x 200).
