All chronic and excessive consumer of alcohol with recent jaundice should be assessed using a Maddrey's score for severe acute alcoholic hepatitis. Corticosteroids are the first line of treatment, associated with an appropriate nutritional support and alcohol abstinence. Corticosteroids plus N-acetylcysteine combination improves short-term survival over corticosteroids alone, and could be proposed as a first line therapy. The response to treatment is evaluated at the 7th day of treatment, with the Lille model ≤ 0.45. Prognostic of non-responders to corticosteroids with Lille model ¿ 0.45 is dramatically low with 23% survival at 6 month. Early liver transplantation in a selected group of patients with non-response to corticosteroids significantly improves 6th month and long-term survival. © 2018 Elsevier Masson SAS
