Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury due to celecoxib, a first generation Cox-2 inhibitor, has been rarely reported. We describe one case of severe and prolonged cholestasis after treatment with celecoxib for 12 days in a young woman with no evidence of other causes of liver disease or allergy. Jaundice lasted for 3 months, pruritus and abnormal liver biochemistry persisted for 18 months after stopping the drug. Liver biopsy specimens showed a cholestatic pattern of liver injury with only minimal mononuclear infiltrate in the portal tracts. This case report supports the notion that celecoxib may cause bland, long term cholestasis.
