Azathioprine Induced Severe Cholestatic Hepatitis In A Crohn’s Disease Patient.

Severe cholestasis with azathioprine is rare. Azathioprine induced severe cholestasis has been reported in children but not in adults. We report a 30 years old female with Crohn’s disease who after a recent escalation of her maintenance dose of azathioprine presented with severe cholestasis, which improved after withholding the drug.
