title: Liver injury due to drugs.
abstract: Although hepatic injury due to drugs plays only a minor role in comparison with the incidence of viral or alcoholic hepatitis, it is important to know about this form because it is an iatrogenic disease which the physician causes by the medical treatment he administers without being conscious of it. Yet awareness of the physician can prevent or rapidly reverse such injury.
