title: [Minor hepatitis probably caused by amodiaquine].
abstract: The authors present eight cases of hepatitis probably due to amodiaquine taken at a prophylactic dose. Seven cases were minor forms with vomiting, nausea and 3 to 8 fold rise in transaminases. One case had jaundice. The symptoms regressed when amodiaquine was replaced by chloroquine. An in vitro test done once was positive.
