  • Title: Probable azathioprine hepatotoxicity: a case report.
    Author: Small P, Lichter M.
    Journal: Ann Allergy; 1989 Jun; 62(6):518-20. PubMed ID: 2735558.
    Abstract:
    A patient with polymyositis was treated initially with corticosteroids. Subsequently, azathioprine was added but was associated with transient hepatotoxicity on two separate occasions, 6 months apart. Both episodes occurred 3 weeks after starting the latter drug. This is the first case of azathioprine toxicity documented by both histopathology and drug challenge.
