Hi,

Viral infection can lead elevated liver enzymes. But here fever and pleural effusion present. Hence pneumonia consolidation and tuberculosis has to be ruled out.

For that investigation needed wit:

- Chest x ray digital
- Sputum examination
- Auscultation
- CBC
- ADA estimation

If needed If specific cause found than treated accordingly. For bacterial infection antibiotic needs to be prescribed If on examination yellow sclera found than serum bilirubin estimation done and management for jaundice needed. With keeping my answer in mind consult physician for examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Parth Goswami
