    Abstract:
    Acetaminophen is considered as a safe analgesic and antipyretic drug in paediatric age. The main problem in the use of acetaminophen is acute liver failure after an overdose or an acute intoxication. We report a case of fulminant liver failure and spontaneous recovery in a patient treated with a prolonged course of acetaminophen at recommended dosages.
