Abstract

Hepatic and biliary drug reactions have been increasingly recognized as major causes of liver and biliary tract diseases over the last 20 years [37, 66, 85, 90]. This may be explained by several factors. First, marked improvements have been made in diagnostic methods (viral serologic tests, ultrasonography, tomodensitometry, magnetic resonance imaging), allowing elimination of other causes of disease and ascertainment of potential involvement of drug reactions more accurately. Thus, the hepatotoxicity of some drugs, such as amiodarone or amodiaquin used for more than 25 years, was only recognized a few years ago [36, 70].
