[Changes in aminophenazone metabolism with acute hepatitis in children (author's transl)].
Serum half-life of aminophenazone was measured in 23 children with acute viral hepatitis and children with normal liver biopsy of matched ages. In acute hepatitis the value was 6.71 +/- 3.34, significantly longer than in the normal controls (2.79 +/- 0.53). Two hours after oral intake of the drug the serum concentration was higher in healthy children than in those with hepatitis, but the difference was not significant. Especially in children with intercurrent acute hepatic disease account must be taken of impaired metabolism during long-term drug treatment.
