Abstract
Medications are thought to contribute to approximately 50% of the cases of acute liver failure in the USA. This number includes some herbal medications and supplements. However, little regulatory oversight of these later substances occurs. This report describes a case of fulminant hepatic failure secondary to Ban Tu Wan (a Chinese herb). We discuss the use of this herbal supplement and the relationship to drug-induced hepatitis.Entities:
