Benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis (BRIC) is a rare disorder characterised by recurrent episodes of cholestatic jaundice. First described in 1959, BRIC has been reported in patients all over the world including of African descent. Here, we describe a case of a 21-year-old male with recurring episodes of cholestatic jaundice where we diagnosed BRIC and terminated an episode with rifampicin. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of BRIC diagnosed in Africa.
良性复发性肝内胆汁淤积症（BRIC）是一种罕见的疾病，其特征为胆汁淤积性黄疸反复发作。BRIC于1959年首次被描述，世界各地包括非洲裔患者中均有报道。在此，我们描述一例21岁男性，其患有胆汁淤积性黄疸反复发作，我们诊断为BRIC并用利福平终止了一次发作。据我们所知，这是在非洲诊断出BRIC的首例病例报告。
