Abstract
Amoxycillin/clavulanic acid liver injury is very rare. We describe an exceptional case of intrahepatic cholestasis without hepatitis induced by amoxycillin/clavulanic acid. Recognition of this benign cholestatic syndrome as a side-effect may obviate unnecessary complementary and costly procedures.
