Authors
Abstract
Transient elevation of liver enzymes is reported in 9 % of patients on olanzapine. However, rare cases of symptomatic hepatotoxicity associated with olanzapine use have been reported in the literature. This case report describes a woman who presented acute hepatitis linked to the use of olanzapine. Similar reports in the literature are also analyzed.
