Abstract
We reported on an adolescent who suffered from cholestatic hepatitis after taking a low dose of paracetamol. It was suspected that the condition was brought about by an allergic reaction to paracetamol. Paracetamol is one of the representative intrinsic hepatotoxic drugs. There have been only a few reports on liver damage due to an allergic reaction to paracetamol. There is a need to call attention to this particular reaction.
