ABSTRACT
There are few reports of hepatitis related to the Chinese Medicine in Korea. Because herbal medicine contains many ingredients, it is confused what ingredient causes the hepatitis. We experienced a case of acute hepatitis developed after consumption of Chinese herbal medicine, Ho-Shou-Wu, for 75 days which contains only one component, Polygonum multiflorum, in a 55 year-old woman. And gradual recovery from hepatitis was observed after stopping the medication. Drug-induced hepatitis was diagnosed with typical clinical course and exclusion of all the possible causes of acute hepatocellular injury. We report this case with review of literature.
