Fatal fulminant hepatic failure related to the use of disulfiram.

We report a case of fatal fulminant hepatic failure related to the use of disulfiram. This is a commonly used medication; however there are few reported cases in the medical literature of fatal liver failure related to its use. Patients using disulfiram for alcohol cessation typically have multiple risk factors for liver disease and are not acutely candidates for orthotopic liver transplant due to recent alcohol dependence.
