Drug-induced hepatitis: Etiological profile and therapeutic management

Drug-induced hepatotoxicity is one of the main forms of iatrogenic pathology, which is often under-diagnosed. Numerous drugs are implicated and can cause hepatic damage reproducing the whole spectrum of non-iatrogenic liver pathology, ranging from a simple transient disturbance of the liver balance to fulminant, life-threatening hepatitis. We report here our experience with a series of 194 patients who presented with drug-induced hepatitis, reviewing the data in the literature.
