Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The severe hepatic necrosis, encephalopathy, and organ failure suggest a severe case of hepatitis. Hepatitis B is known to cause severe liver damage and can lead to liver failure. Hepatitis A and E typically do not cause severe liver damage, and hepatitis D can only occur in individuals already infected with hepatitis B.
