摘要
The incidence of drug-related acute liver failure is approximately 14 per 100,000 populations. Drug-induced liver injury may take place through a variety of mechanism. Withdrawal of the offending agent may result in complete recovery. Clindamycin is known to cause mild derangement of liver function; however, acute liver injury causing severe derangement of liver function associated with encephalopathy is uncommon.
