Abstract
Acute fatty liver of pregnancy can produce a great variety of complications. Of these, infections are important. We describe two cases, one of them complicated with uterine sepsis. Both gave evidence of the necessity for multidisciplinary treatment, which reduces the maternal-fetal morbidity and mortality produced by this disease.
