Abstract
Acute, severe colitis and hepatitis developed in a 55 yr old man on 2 occasions in relation to methyldopa administration. He also had fever, skin rash and eosinophilia, suggesting drug allergy. All symptoms and signs remitted after he stopped taking the drug. This agent is apparently capable of producing acute colitis and hepatitis.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
