Her tuberculous pleurisy was treated with rifampin, isoniazid and pyrazinamide. An artificial liver support system (ALSS) was unable to reverse the liver injury while serving as a bridge to liver transplantation. She had a successful liver transplantation operation at 17 3\/7 weeks of gestation. The foetal ultrasound scan showed mild foetal bilateral ventriculomegaly at 21 5\/7 weeks of gestation, and labour was induced via double-balloon catheter as soon as the allograft function was stable. Despite immunosuppression, the TB was well controlled with linezolid, levofloxacin and pyridoxine at the 8 months follow-up.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>Anti-TB drug-induced liver failure during pregnancy is rare. We present a case of successful treatment of FHF in which an artificial liver support system combined with liver transplantation. The FHF was caused by anti-TB drugs with difficulties due to pregnancy status and post-transplant anti-TB treatment. Mild foetal ventriculomegaly was found in our case. Further research is still needed to identify the risks of TB treatment and liver transplantation in pregnant women. A multidisciplinary team coordinated properly to optimize patient outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1186\/s12884-021-04065-0","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]],"date-time":"2021-08-31T17:44:21Z","timestamp":1630431861000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Anti-tuberculosis drug-induced acute liver failure requiring transplantation in the second trimester of pregnancy: a case report"],"prefix":"10.1186","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Zhoufeng","family":"Zhu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Min","family":"Zhang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,31]]},"reference":[{"key":"4065_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"e710-6","DOI":"10.1016\/S2214-109X(14)70330-4","volume":"2","author":"J Sugarman","year":"2014","unstructured":"Sugarman J, Colvin C, Moran AC, Oxlade O.
