title: Albendazole-induced associated acute hepatitis and bicytopenia.
abstract: Acute hepatitis induced by albendazole is rarely reported. We describe herein an original case of acute hepatitis associated with bicytopenia after albendazole intake. This paper is the first to describe a possible association of a hematologic disorder and acute hepatitis, both induced by albendazole therapy.
