Failure to Induce Hepatic Pathology in Animals Sensitizedto a Halothane Metabolite and Subsequently Challenged with Halothane

Abstract
The results of this animal study confirm the induction of delayed hypersensitivity to a halothane metabolite, but the sensitization does not cause hepatic damage on subsequent halothane exposures. Before the hypothesis that hepatic necrosis following halothane has an immunologic basis can be accepted or rejected, more critical studies with different approaches must be made.
