title: Cholestatic hepatitis induced by gold.
abstract: A patient with rheumatoid arthritis developed an acute intrahepatic cholestasis after 100 mg of sodium aurothiomalate. Hepatotoxicity in rheumatoid arthritis is well described following a variety of anti-inflammatory preparations but is now a rare complication of gold therapy and the literature on the subject is reviewed.
