title: [Acute renal failure complicating carbamazepine hypersensitivity].
abstract: A case of acute renal failure occurring during treatment with carbamazepine is reported. The clinical signs and biological abnormalities strongly supported the diagnosis of acute interstitial nephritis of immunoallergic origin. The outcome was favourable after drug withdrawal. We review the cases of carbamazepine-induced acute renal failure.
