Eosinophilic hepatitis after ingestion of choline magnesium trisalicylate.

Abstract

Choline magnesium trisalicylate is a non-acetylated salicylate used widely as a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug. Although mild transient hepatotoxicity associated with aspirin and other salicylates has been well documented, most commonly with high-dose treatment for rheumatologic disorders 112), we report a case of severe hypersensitivity hepatitis with striking tissue and peripheral eosinophilia after ingestion of choline magnesium trisalicylate.
