TL;DRAbstract

We report the case of a 47-year-old female patient, suffering from multiple hydatid cysts of the liver, in whom hepatitis developed after mebendazole treatment. Clinical manifestations of hypersensitivity were absent. A correlation was found between serum mebendazole concentrations and the degree of cytolysis; this is compatible with a direct hepatotoxic effect of mebendazole.
