Toxic hepatitis or drug-induced liver injury encompasses a spectrum of clinical disease ranging from mild biochemical abnormalities to acute liver failure.The advantages of a long half-life,wide spectrum,high tissue penetration rate,and a good safety profile,make ceftriaxone,a third-generation cephalosporin,a frequent choice in the treatment of childhood infections.Previous studies have reported a few cases of high aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels,along with three cases of hepatitis caused by ceftriaxone.Here,we report a case of drug-induced toxic hepatitis in a patient who was treated with ceftriaxone for acute tonsillitis.

The advantages of a long half-life, wide spectrum, high tissue penetration rate, and a good safety profile, make ceftriaxone, a third-generation cephalosporin, a frequent choice in the treatment of childhood infections. Past studies have reported a few cases of high aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase levels, along with three cases of hepatitis caused by ceftriaxone. Here, we report a case of drug -induced toxic hepatitis in a patient who was treated with ceftriaxone for acute tonsillitis.
