Herbal preparations are widely available and generally regarded by the public as harmless remedies for a variety of medical ailments. We report the first case in Australia of acute hepatitis associated with the Chinese herbal medicine Shou-Wu-Pian, prepared from Polygonum multiflorum. Cholestatic hepatitis developed in a Chinese woman taking this preparation for the greying of her hair, and liver biopsy was consistent with a toxic reaction. Clinical and biochemical resolution occurred following cessation of the drug.
草药制剂随处可得，并且在大众普遍看来是治疗各种疾病的无害药物。我们报告了澳大利亚首例与由何首乌制成的中药首乌片相关的急性肝炎病例。一名中国女性因头发变白服用此制剂后发生了胆汁淤积性肝炎，肝脏活检结果与中毒反应相符。停药后临床症状和生化指标恢复正常。
