Abstract
A case of acute hepatitis induced by zidovudine in a 38-year-old patie nt with AIDS is, presented. The mechanism whereby the hepatitis was in duced is not known. However, the patient tolerated well an alternative reverse transcriptase inhibitor, 2' 3' dideoxyinosine. Physicians car ing for patients with AIDS should be aware of this hitherto rarely rep orted complication.
