As the coronavirus pandemic continues to evolve, so does the understanding of different presentations of disease. In this case report, we describe a patient whose presentation of COVID-19 was with acute icteric hepatitis without respiratory symptoms. This is the first case in the literature to our knowledge to report jaundice as the initial presentation of disease and adds to just a handful of cases in the literature of acute hepatitis as the sole presentation of COVID-19. Additionally, despite severe hepatitis, the patient had a benign course of COVID-19 and did not require aggressive medical care; this strays from conventional paradigms that associate severity of COVID-19 with a degree of aminotransferase elevation. The purpose of this report is to make physicians aware of acute icteric hepatitis as a presentation of COVID-19 infection and to facilitate discussion and further research in the area of COVID-19-induced hepatitis.
