Albendazole-induced liver injury of a 11-year-old girl
A case of the drug-induced liver injury (DILI) development is presented on the background of the self-treatment with an antiparasitic drug Albendazole in an 11 years-old girl with several risk factors for the drug-induced liver injury (history of a drug reaction, carbohydrate and fat metabolism disturbance, female gender, and adolescence). The disease was diagnosed using the the CIOMS/RUCAM scale. The drug was withdrawn and the pathogenetic therapy was established (fluids, hepatoprotective drugs) with the resolution of the drug-induced hepatitis.
