| Core Tip |
We herein report a probable case of escitalopram-induced liver injury. A 56-year-old Chinese lady presented with fever and cholestatic liver injury two weeks after initiation of escitalopram for the treatment of psychotic depression. Physical examination and investigations for stones, viral hepatitis and autoimmune liver disease were unyielding. Upon stopping escitalopram, repeat liver function tests showed downtrending liver enzymes with eventual normalization of serum aminotransferase levels. Clinicians should be aware of the possibility of drug-induced liver injury associated with escitalopram use, when initiating depressed patients on antidepressant treatment. This requires extra vigilance as most patients may remain asymptomatic. |
