    Severe hepatitis and liver necrosis were observed in a patient taking ketoconazole, an antifungal drug. This case suggests a potential idiosyncratic metabolic reaction to ketoconazole, rather than a hypersensitivity response.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacology
    • Hepatology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Ketoconazole is an imidazole antifungal agent.
    • Established cases of ketoconazole-induced hepatotoxicity are rare in medical literature.

    Observation:

    • This report details a case of presumed ketoconazole hepatotoxicity.
    • The patient presented with severe hepatitis and significant centrilobular necrosis.

    Findings:

    • Clinical findings lacked hypersensitivity reactions.
    • The centrilobular necrosis pattern suggested an idiosyncratic host response.
    • A metabolic abnormality is proposed as the mechanism of ketoconazole toxicity.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for idiosyncratic hepatotoxicity with ketoconazole.

  • Further investigation into metabolic pathways may elucidate ketoconazole's adverse effects.
  • Clinicians should be aware of this rare but severe adverse reaction.
