Giant Cell Hepatitis in Copper Toxicosis.

Cholestatic jaundice in new born and infants results from biliary obstruction or hepatocellular dysfunction. Biliary atresia (BA) and Idiopathic neonatal hepatitis comprises the major aetiology. Cholestasis due to toxins is rare in infants. Indian childhood cirrhosis (ICC) and ICC like diseases have been described in infants. Herein, authors are describing a case of infantile cholestasis presenting at 4 months of age who was diagnosed to have copper related hepatotoxicosis on liver biopsy. Copper tumblers were used for preparation of formula milk that likely was the source of exogenous copper and the child improved well after removing the source of exogenous copper.
