Answer

You may take this as Reye's syndrome or Hepatic encephalopathy in which hypoglycemia can occur. Rule out infective hepatitis by doing at least a minimum of Hepatitis A and Hbsag. If no infective cause, then metabolic conditions such as Wilson's disease, lactic acidosis and Fatty acid oxidation defects should be ruled out. Do her serum ammonia and PT/PTT for acute management.
