Abstract

We report the coding-complete genome sequence of human alphaherpesvirus 1 (HHV1) isolated from a previously healthy 64-year-old male with fulminant hepatitis, a rare presentation of a common viral agent. The sequence is highly similar to previously described HHV1 sequences. Additional sequence data for fulminant hepatitis cases are required.
