[Cholestatic hepatitis caused by ketoconazole].

The authors report a new Ketoconazole-induced hepatitis in which clinical, chemical and histological features show evidence of a cholestatic injury in a 62 yrs-old female recovering once therapy is stopped. In this case-report, delay of onset of the illness is very short for a 200 mg-a-day prescription and no feature leads towards an immune response. This, may be, means that Ketoconazole-induced hepatitis should be led by an idiosyncrasic mechanism. Even if fatal hepatitis are rare, prescriptors have to beware of this therapy.

[Use of phenobarbital by the oral route in the acute and maintenance treatment of convulsions in children].

Early and long-lasting phenobarbital plasma levels were obtained by the following schedule in children presenting with convulsions who remained at risk for early relapse: a load dose of 15 mg/kg, followed 12 hours later by the administration of 5 mg/kg in children under 1 year of age and 3 mg/kg in older children; further maintenance doses were 3 mg/kg every 24 hours for 10 days in all children. No child presented with any convulsion in the period of time studied. The mean phenobarbital plasma levels were, from the 1st to the 88th hour, between the values considered as effective (12.6 and 22.3 mg/l). These values were always lower in children under 1 year of age, except for the 1st hour.
