    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Anesthesiology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Halothane anesthesia can cause liver injury.
    • Repeated halothane exposure increases risk.
    • Distinguishing halothane-induced hepatitis is clinically important.

    Observation:

    • A 34-year-old woman developed hepatitis after two halothane anesthesia exposures within 6 days.
    • Symptoms appeared 2 weeks post-exposure.
    • Liver biopsy showed nonspecific lobular hepatitis and unusual granulomatous changes.

    Findings:

    • Clinical presentation and laboratory values strongly suggested halothane-induced hepatitis.
    • Liver histology was less conclusive due to nonspecific and granulomatous features.
    • Diagnosis relied more on clinical and laboratory data than histology.

    Implications:

    • Clinical and laboratory findings are paramount in diagnosing halothane-induced hepatitis.
    • Liver histology may be atypical, necessitating a comprehensive diagnostic approach.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering anesthetic history in suspected drug-induced liver injury.
