Ketoconazole-induced fulminant hepatitis.

چکیده
We report the cases of two adult patients in whom fulminant hepatitis developed after 17 and 103 days of ketoconazole administration. Histologic administration showed massive, predominantly centrilobular necrosis. Clinical manifestations of hypersensitivity and eosinophilia were absent in both patients, which suggests that ketoconazole hepatotoxicity is not mediated through an immunoallergic mechanism.

متن کاملNew therapeutic aspects in fulminant hepatic failure.
Mortality rates for fulminant hepatic failure range between 50% and 90%. Several independent factors influence survival: age, etiology, depth and duration of the encephalopathy, and prevention of complications. The main causes of fulminant hepatic failure are hepatotropic viruses, adverse drug effects, and toxins (Table 1). All major hepatotropic viruses can induce fulminant hepatic failure. We...
متن کاملAn elderly female with rib osteolytic lesion after recovery from fulminant liver failure induced by acute‐onset autoimmune hepatitis
This report highlights an interesting case of an osteolytic lesion (actinomycosis) after fulminant liver failure induced by autoimmune hepatitis (AIH). When treating patients with fulminant liver failure due to AIH using immunosuppressive drugs, such as steroids, the possibility of such rare occurrences should be kept in mind.
متن کاملHepatitis E virus and fulminant hepatitis–a virus or host-specific pathology?
BACKGROUND & AIMS Fulminant hepatitis is a rare outcome of infection with hepatitis E virus. Several recent reports suggest that virus variation is an important determinant of disease progression. To critically examine the evidence that virus-specific factors underlie the development of fulminant hepatitis following hepatitis E virus infection. METHODS Published sequence information of hepati...
