The case of a 3 year-old boy who presented isolated cholestasis as the initial symptom of histiocytosis X is described. Other symptoms occurred later on. Despite treatment (corticosteroid and Vinblastin), the disease continued to progress and the child died at the age of 4 1/2 years with HIV infection (contaminated blood product) and tuberculosis.
