We report a new case of subfulminant hepatitis due to iproniazid, a MAO-inhibitor antidepressant, in a 27-year-old man. An auxiliary liver transplantation was performed. Liver function returned to normal and the patient was discharged from the hospital. However, the patient's native liver did not regenerate, and immunosuppressive therapy had to be maintained. Iproniazid hepatotoxicity is characterized by jaundice in 1% of cases, with a fulminant or subfulminant course in 20% of icteric patients. Although iproniazid is no longer sold in most countries, it is still commercialized in France. Because of the frequency and severity of hepatic injury, commercialization of iproniazid in France should no longer be authorized.
