[Digitalis intoxication in the presence of amiodarone-induced acute hepatitis].
In this report, we describe a case of acute atypical hepatitis during chronic treatment with amiodarone in a patient in which symptoms of digitalis toxicity also developed. The sudden onset of these side effects, whose mechanisms are herein discussed, stresses the importance of a careful monitoring of patients treated with amiodarone.
