title: Carbamazepine-induced liver injury.
abstract: Two patients had carbamazepine-induced liver injury. The clinical, biochemical, and histologic data suggest hepatitis of the idiosyncratic hypersensitivity type with granulomas in one patient; in the other, the liver injury resembles that caused by a hepatotoxin. Both patients showed prompt recovery upon discontinuation of the drug.
