Abstract
We describe 2 patients who developed reversible decompensated liver disease while taking pulse dosed methotrexate (MTX) for rheumatoid arthritis. One of the patients was available for biopsy and had chronic active hepatitis--a lesion not previously described with MTX. This appears to be a unique and unusual manifestation of MTX hepatotoxicity.Entities:
