Abstract
Acetaminophen causes volume-dependent hepatotoxicity; however, hepatotoxicity may also occur with acetaminophen administered at normal doses. We encountered a case of allergic liver damage in a 17-year-old girl receiving acetaminophen at a regular dose. The patient was diagnosed using the Roussel Uclaf Causality Assessment Method (RUCAM) and the diagnostic scale of the Digestive Disease Week Japan 2004 workshop. She tested positive for acetaminophen on a drug-induced lymphocyte stimulation test, and liver biopsy results confirmed the diagnosis of acetaminophen-induced liver injury. Despite administering acetaminophen at normal doses, hepatotoxicity may occur, which warrants further exploration.
