Glucocorticoids have been used in severe hepatitis
(sometimes of granulomatous type) induced by medications (62,63). They have also been used in hepatitis associated with immune phenomena produced by Kava (53),Ma-Huang (10) or Syo-Saiko-To (51). We decided to prescribe them in case 1 due to the potential severity of the
histological and clinical history, and to its possible relation to immunological phenomena.
