Abstract
We report on a 27-year-old patient with recurrent cholestatic hepatitis in whom the symptoms developed each time after travelling in tropical areas. Our primary diagnosis was recurrent non-A-non-B-hepatitis after exclusion of other forms of infectious hepatitis, but careful exploration identified Fansidar as the causative agent of liver damage.
