Abstract

Fulminant hepatic failure developed in the early post-operative period in a patient after third exposure to halothane. Exclusion of other causes of post-operative jaundice and temporal relationship of jaundice to anesthesia suggested halothane as the etiologic agent for the submassive necrosis, which was documented at postmortem liver biopsy.
