Abstract
The most serious side effect of ketoconazole is hepatitis, which has proved fatal in seven reported cases. We present a case of fulminant hepatic failure in a 45-year-old Oriental woman that probably would have been fatal except for a successful liver transplant. A review of the literature of fatalities associated with ketoconazole is presented.
