title: [Liver damage caused by adelphan].
abstract: Hepatic damage due to Adelphan or to one of its two components (Rauwolfia alkaloids [Reserpin] and 1,4-dihydrazinophthalazine [Nepresol]) has not thus far been described. A patient is presented who repeatedly reacted to Adelphan with fever, chills and hepatic damage. Adelphan should therefore be added to the list of drugs which may cause hepatic damage.
