title: Cholestatic hepatitis related to amoxicillin.
abstract: While it is well recognized that the combination of amoxicillin and clavulanic acid has been associated with hepatic adverse events, there are only a few reports about amoxicillin alone causing hepatic toxicity. We describe a 34-year-old woman who developed severe cholestatic hepatitis following amoxicillin treatment.
