Toxic hepatitis following ketoconazole treatment.

Abstract
Ketoconazole, a new broad-spectrum oral antifungal agent, has proved most useful in the treatment of superficial and systemic fungal infections. Chronic conditions like mucocutaneous candidiasis can be treated with but few side effects. An increasing number of cases have, however, been noted of severe toxic hepatitis, following ketoconazole treatment. A new case (a 61-yr-old woman treated for onychomycosis) is reported here.
