| ABSTRACT |
|
|
Ketoconazole, an imidazole derivative, is a broad spectrum antifungal agent which has been used widely in the treatment of systemic or local fungal infections. Mild asymptomatic elevation of plasma transaminase activities occurs in approximately 6% to 17.5% of patients who have used ketoconazole. However, the incidence of symptomatic hepatic injury is low and overt hepatitis develops in about 5% of the patients. Nausea and vomiting are the most frequent side reactions. Histopathological features of the reported ketoconazole induced hepatotoxicity are massive or submassive hepatocellular necrosis involving the acinar zone 3, destroyed lobular architecture with bridging necrosis and inflammatory cell infiltration on portal tracts. However, hepatic septal fibrosis with liver cirrhosis has not been reported yet.We experienced a case of hepatic septal fibrosis that developed after 9 months of ketoconazole administration.(Korean J Hepatol 2000;6:241-245) |
