She was shown to have a circulating antibody which acted specifically against rabbit hepatocyte previously sensitized to halothane. The patient made a full recovery from the hepatitis, but 5 months later, developed diabetes mellitus.

متن کاملHepatotoxicity after desflurane anesthesia in a 15-month-old child with Mobius syndrome after previous exposure to isoflurane.
HALOGENATED anesthetic agents have been associated with perioperative liver dysfunction and injury. Most cases of hepatotoxicity reported involve halothane exposure. Halothane produces two types of hepatotoxicity. A mild, transient syndrome with modest increases in transaminase enzymes occurs in 20% of patients given halothane. A more severe and fulminant hepatitis with marked liver dysfunction...

An attempted interpretation of recurrent episodes of hepatitis in a girl at ages 6 and 13 years, which were followed by an interval of 35 years of apparent good health, is reported. A subsequent transient incidence of a halothane hypersensitivity reaction at age 48 years led to the disclosure of negative hepatitis A, B and C antigenicity. A tentative diagnosis may be reached if we accept, at it...

Halothane hepatitis The anaesthetic agent halothane (CF,CHCIRr) causes two distinct types of liver damage. About 20% of halothane-exposed patients exhibit mild hepatotoxicity, characterized by transient elevations in liver enzymes. In contrast, a much smaller fraction of patients exposed to halothane (between 1 in 3500 and 1 in 35 000) develop severe hepatotoxicity, commonly termed ‘halothane h...
