Abstract

Two cases (first cases from Poland and Eastern Europe) with liver injury due to amoxycillin-clavulanic acid (augmentin) are reported. Pruritus and jaundice were the main symptoms. Liver biopsy revealed mixed hepatocellular-cholestatic liver injury in both cases. In addition, in one case the microgranulomalike aggregate of inflammatory cells was found. Clinical and laboratory abnormalities returned to normal within 13 weeks.
