Abstract
We report the case of a 10 year-old girl who had Stevens-Johnson syndrome and cholestasis after ibuprofen therapy. Liver histology was compatible with vanishing bile duct syndrome. She received ursodeoxycholic acid, and liver tests normalized within 7 months. This report confirms that ibuprofen may induce acute vanishing bile duct syndrome.
