Drug-induced autoimmune hepatitis (DIAIH) is an increasingly recognized form of drug-induced liver injury that leads to a condition similar to idiopathic autoimmune hepatitis. A number of drugs have been associated with DIAIH, minocycline is one of the most well characterized. Minocycline is a semisynthetic tetracycline antibiotic used in the treatment of acne vulgaris. Minocycline-induced autoimmune hepatitis presents with serologic and histologic features similar to idiopathic autoimmune hepatitis. However, the natural history and outcomes of these two conditions differ significantly. The majority of patients with minocycline-induced autoimmune hepatitis experience complete resolution of symptoms after withdrawal of the medication. Some patients may require a short course of steroids and rarely use of an immunomodulator to achieve resolution of disease. Recurrence of symptoms is rare and typically only occurs with reintroduction of minocycline. It is important for primary care providers to consider minocycline-induced autoimmune hepatitis when liver injury develops during minocycline therapy.

연구배경: 항결핵제에 의한 간염의 빈도는 감염성 간염이나 만성 간질환의 이환이 빈번한 국민을 대상으로 한 연구에서 비교적 높은 빈도를 보이고 있으며, 우리나라에서도 1980년대 이후 결핵치료에 있어 isoniazid, rifampin은 물론 pyrazinamide를 포함한 처방을 기본으로 결핵치료를 하고 있는 바 간독성이 문제될 것으로 생각되어 임상적 양상을 조사하였다. 방법: 1988년 1월 1일부터 1993년 6월 30일까지 5년 6개월간 국립의료원 흉부내과에 활동성 결핵으로 진단되어 항결핵제를 복용한 1414예 중 약제에 의한 간염을 야기하였던 29예를 대상으로 후향적으로 이들에 대해 임상적 양상을 조사하였다. 결과: 1) 항결핵제에 의한 간염 발생률은 2.1% 였다. 2) 항결핵제에 의한 간염 발생률에는 남녀간에 유의한 차이가 없었으며, 연령에 따른 유의한 차이도 없었고, 결핵의 병행에 따른 유의한 차이도 없었다. 3) 약제에 의한 간염이 발생한 29예 중 62%인 18예가 임상증상 없이 투약을 시작한 후 정기적으로 시행하는 간기능 검사에서 발견된 경우였고, 증상이 있었던 경우에는 오심 및 구토가 많았으며, 이학적 검사상 황달, 간비대, 공막황달, 우측상복부동통 등이 관찰되었다. 4) 투약후 비정상적 간기능 검사 소견을 보이기 까지의 기간은 $31{\pm}8$(Meam${\pm}$SD)일로서 5일에서 180일까지의 범위였고, 투약후 1개월에 항결핵제에 의한 간염발생의 76%인 22예가 발생하였다. 5) 29예 중 27예에서 항결핵제 중단후 간기능검사 소견이 정상화되었고 $28{\pm}5$(Meam${\pm}$SD)일의 기간이 소요되었으며, 5일에서 121일까지의 범위였다. 6) 항결핵제에 의한 간염이 발생한 29예 중 1예에서 전격성간염이 발생하여 사망하였다. 7) GOT는 $243{\pm}45$(Meam${\pm}$SD)U/L로서 64~1055U/L의 범위였고, GPT는 $208{\pm}36$(Meam${\pm}$SD)U/L로서 68~931U/L의 범위였다. 결론: 항결핵제 투여 중 나타나는 간기능 장애는 그 빈도가 낮고 대부분 경증으로 투약에 제한을 받지 않지만 간혹 투약 중단에도 불구하고 전격성간염으로 이환되기도한다. 때문에 간염의 증후를 조기에 진단하고 대처하는 것이 요구되는데, 이를 위해서는 정기적인 간기능검사가 필요하고, 특히 투약을 시작한지 1개월까지는 긴밀한 관찰이 필요하다.

Maduryung Extract, one of herbal medicine was tested for inhibitory effect to alcohol, acetaminophen and d-galactosamine induced hepatitis in rats. The results were as follows. 1. Increaced serum GOT, GPT levels by alcohol were significantly decreased by Maduryung extract.(p<0.01) 2. Maduryung extract decreaced GOT value in acetaminophen induced hepatitis and this effect may be due to increace of GSH level in liver tissue.(p<0.05) 3. Repeat administration of Maduryung extract showed inhibitory effect on s-GOT, s-GPT levels in d-galactosamine induced hepatitis. (p<0.05) According to the above results, it seems that Maduryung could be use as drug for alcohol or drug induced hepatitis treatment.

소아에서 약물 유발성 독성 간염은 비교적 흔하며 대부분 약을 끊으면 호전된다. 특히 항결핵약은 주요 유발 약물이다. 약물 유발성 독성 간염은 자가면역질환을 동반할 수 있으며, 이러한 원인으로 보고된 약제로는 주로 methyldopa, nitrofurantoin, minocycline, interferon 등이고, 항결핵약 보고는 드물다. 저자들은 갑상선염이 동반되고 항결핵약 isoniazid와 rifampin으로 유발된 약물 유발성 자가면역간염을 경험하였기에 국내에서 처음으로 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

In western medicine, there are some reports about herbal medicine induced hepatitis, but in oriental medicine, there are few reports about that. We experienced one case of drug acute cholestatic-hepatitis in the treatment of oriental medicine for HNP. We treated the patient with acupuncture, physical therapy and herb medicine. The patient's symptoms improved after two weeks of treatment. In the course of treatment, the patient intermittently complained of general weakness, nausea, yellowish urin, dyspepsia, and abdominal discomfort. We recognized that total bilirubin(7.2mg/dl), direct bilirubin(5.5mg/dl), serum transaminase(AST 360U/L, ALT 354U/L), alkaline phosphatase(16.6 K/A), urobilinogen(++) and bilirubin(++) were elevated. We diagnosed drug induced hepatitis. We stopped giving herb medicine and began giving Saeng gan gunbi-tang and Injin-oryung-san. Saeng gan gunbi-tang and Injin-oryung-san have been used to treat hepatic disease and have been known to have beneficial effects. After 3weeks on medication, the clinical symptoms and liver function improved. So, we report this case to bring more attention to the safety and toxicity of herbal medicine.

Objectives: To inform the clinical features of drug-induced liver injury (DILI), and study traditional Korean medicine (TKM)-based strategies or therapeutics. Methods: A female patient with hepatitis after long term use of medication for cold symptoms was treated with Oriental therapies, after which the clinical outcome was evaluated by serum biochemical parameters and ultrasonography. Results: Clinical and biochemical levels were fluctuating during administration of cold medicine, but the patient completely recovered her health with herbal medicines. Conclusion: This case report would provide information about a typical DILI by western medicine followed by treatment with traditional Korean medicine.

Toxic hepatitis is a rare but devastating disease in children. Herbs are widely used in oriental medicine to treat various symptoms in Korea, however, several herbs have been reported to induce liver injury. We report a case of toxic hepatitis induced by Hovenia dulcis in a 3-year-old boy. He complained of nausea, abdominal discomfort, and jaundice. The patient had consumed water boiled with hovenia dulcis for about 1 year prior to presentation. A diagnosis of toxic hepatitis was made based on his history, laboratory data, viral markers, ultrasonography, and biopsied liver tissue. We administered supportive management for acute fulminant hepatitis but his symptoms and liver function progressed. He was transferred to another hospital for further evaluation and consideration for liver transplantation. Because acute liver failure due to herbs or dietary supplement taken for a long time is often fetal, it is important to make early diagnosis and stop taking the drug as soon as drug induced liver injury is suspected.

The prevalence of multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), which is resistant to isoniazid and rifampin, has been increasing in Korea. And the side effects of 2nd line anti-tuberculosis medications, including drug-induced hepatitis, are well known. Although prothionamide (PTH) is one of the most useful anti-TB medications and although TB medication-induced acute hepatitis is a severe complication, there are only a few published case reports about prothionamide induced hepatitis. In this case report, a 22 year old male was diagnosed with pulmonary MDR-TB and was administered 2nd line anti-TB mediations, including PTH. Afterwards, he had a spiking fever and his liver enzymes were more than 5 times greater than the upper limit of the normal range. He was then diagnosed with drug-induced hepatitis by liver biopsy. His symptoms and liver enzyme elevation were improved after stopping PTH. Accordingly, we report this case of an association between PTH and acute hepatitis.
