Ornidazole-induced autoimmune hepatitis.
Ornidazole is a commonly prescribed antiparasitic drug for parasitic infestations, including amoebiasis, giardiasis and Trichomonas vaginalis. Several cases of antibiotic-induced autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) or AIH-like syndrome have been reported recently. In this report, we describe a 35-year-old woman with two relapses of AIH induced by ornidazole prescribed for diarrhoea and vaginal infection.
