Abstract

Drug-induced liver injury became one of the most important liver disorders and diagnostic challenge for clinicians and pathologists. Here, we report a rare case of ashwagandha-induced acute liver injury. The patient developed jaundice 2 weeks after starting ashwagandha intake and recovered within 5 months after withdrawal without any specific treatment.

Keywords: ashwagandha; drug‐induced liver injury; herbal and dietary supplements.
