[Jaundice caused by estro-progestinic agents. Description of a case]

A case of oestroprogestinic icterus is reported. The potential toxicity of these drugs, which have now been in use for twenty years in medical and non-medical practice, on liver parenchyma is discussed. Such treatment should be carried out only under the attentive, constant control of a physician who should not neglect liver function in his examination.
