Glatiramer acetate, a mixture of synthetic polypeptides able to prevent autoimmune encephalomyelitis in experimental models, is used as a treatment for patients with active relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis. We report one case of glatiramer acetate induced hepatitis. Liver biopsy was consistent with a diagnosis of drug induced hepatitis and alanine aminotransferase returned to normal values after treatment discontinuation. The present case should serve as a warning that glatiramer acetate may cause acute liver disease.
醋酸格拉替雷是一种合成多肽混合物,在实验模型中能够预防自身免疫性脑脊髓炎,被用作活动性复发缓解型多发性硬化症患者的治疗药物。我们报告了一例醋酸格拉替雷诱发肝炎的病例。肝活检结果符合药物性肝炎的诊断,停用治疗药物后丙氨酸转氨酶恢复到正常水平。本病例应作为一个警示,即醋酸格拉替雷可能会引起急性肝病。
