Recurrent acute hepatitis in patient receiving pulsed methylprednisolone for multiple sclerosis.

We report clinically significant, recurrent acute hepatitis in a 48-year-old woman receiving pulsed treatment with methylprednisolone for multiple sclerosis. No other cause was found for the episodes and the temporal and histological correlations were consistent with immune-allergic type drug-induced hepatitis.
