  • Title: [Liver damage after exposure to halothane].
    Author: Roznak D, Halevy A, Orda R.
    Journal: Harefuah; 1990 Apr 15; 118(8):455-6. PubMed ID: 2358229.
    Abstract:
    A 70-year-old woman developed fever accompanied by impairment of liver function and eosinophilia after 2 courses of halothane anaesthesia given within a few days. Serologic tests excluded viral hepatitis. Liver function and blood count returned to normal within 2 weeks. When a second operation is necessary shortly after a previous anesthesia with halothane, a different, non-hepatotoxic agent should be used.
