[Toxic cholestatic hepatitis secondary to chrysotherapy].
An unusual case of cholestatic toxic hepatitis observed during the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis with gold salts (colloidal sulphide) is reported. The primarily histological diagnosis was supported by the absence of hepatotoxic drugs and the ruling out of other forms of liver disease. Furthermore, the histological picture fitted that described in the few cases in the international literature.
