Subacute Hepatitis in a Patient Treated with Parstelin

i f more recent history was that for three weeks she complained of upper respiratory action and ten days before admission developed jaundice with a blotchy, itchy ^ rash. She tended to be rather sleepless and was still nervous. She had no Nominal symptoms and no indigestion. On admission her temperature, pulse and spiration were normal; she had an enlarged thyroid with a small hard nodule in it; e Was jaundiced; there was a blotchy skin rash which was general; she was quite ^ble, well covered, taking her food reasonably well. She was sensible when I talked , her during the day, but became rather rowdy at night and we had considerable t0 culty in controlling her. Since she was jaundiced we were not sure what sedation ^Se> but found that small doses of paraldehyde were sufficient to control her.
