Abstract
In order to evaluate the usefulness of the peripherl lymphocyte culture method for the diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury, a study was carried out on 21 cases of drug-induced liver injury (Group A). Nine cases in Group A showed a positive lymphocyte stimulation test. Out of 9 cases which showed positive stimulation six cases were cholestatic type of liver injury, and the remaining three were of hepatitic type. The results suggest that peripheral lymphocyte culture method is a useful method for diagnosis of drug-induced liver injury.Keywords
