ABSTRACT
Acetaminophen hepatotoxicity in a teenager with excessive alcohol intake We report a 12 years old male with a history of excessive alcohol intake, that developed a severe liver failure after the use of acetaminophen in therapeutic doses. He presented with encephalopathy, jaundice, fever and an upper gastrointestinal bleeding. Serum aspartate aminotransferase values were 5 250 IU/L. The patient received supportive care and oral corticosteroids, remained severely compromised for 72 hours and had a good evolution thereafter. The association of acetaminophen use and excessive alcohol intake in a patient who developed an acute hepatic failure and the absence of serological evidence of hepatitis A or B viral infection, support the diagnosis of drug induced liver failure
