Abstract

Inherited metabolic liver disease is a wide-range of diseases that cause abnormal metabolism, resulting from genetic defects. Notably, some inherited metabolic liver diseases are closely associated to infection on account of specific substances abnormal metabolism or key enzyme activities deficiency. Therefore, understanding the inherited metabolic liver disease-associated infection would be helpful to clinical practice and improve patient prognosis.
