Although the presence of eosinophils could be considered a nonspe¬ cific finding, the final interpretation of the liver biopsy specimen was then "severe acute hepatitis, possibly due to drug sensitivi¬ ty."Propranolol and hydrochlorothiazide were substituted for hydralazine. Five days later serum transaminase levels fell toward normal limits. The liver diminished in volume and the patient felt much improved. She was discharged, but readmitted six months later for a control liver biopsy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
