[Drug-induced active hepatitis (author's transl)].

    Summary

    Drug-induced active hepatitis is uncommon, often linked to oxyphenisatine, alphamethyldopa, and isoniazid. Stopping the causative drug typically leads to rapid recovery, unless severe liver damage like cirrhosis is present.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Toxicology
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) is a significant clinical concern.
    • Active hepatitis can be a rare manifestation of DILI.
    • Identifying causative agents is crucial for patient management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To review the characteristics of drug-induced active hepatitis.
    • To identify the primary drugs associated with this condition.
    • To understand the typical clinical course and prognosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review of cases reporting drug-induced active hepatitis.
    • Analysis of clinical and histological data from identified cases.
    • Focus on specific drugs implicated: oxyphenisatine, alphamethyldopa, and isoniazid.

    Main Results:

    • Oxyphenisatine, alphamethyldopa, and isoniazid are the main drugs implicated in drug-induced active hepatitis.
    • Histologically, these cases may resemble chronic active hepatitis.
    • Hepatitis induced by alphamethyldopa and isoniazid typically follows an acute, not chronic, course.

    Conclusions:

    • Drug-induced active hepatitis is rare but associated with specific agents.
    • Prompt drug withdrawal is key to favorable outcomes.
    • Prognosis depends on the severity of histological lesions, with cirrhosis indicating a poorer outlook.
