Drug-induced Steatohepatitis Caused by Long-term Use of Topical Steroids for Atopic Dermatitis: A Case Report.
Internal Medicine 2024 April 10
Atopic dermatitis is common in children and often treated with topical corticosteroids (TCs). A boy in his late teens who had been using TCs for atopic dermatitis was diagnosed with liver damage during a health checkup. A medical examination revealed severe steatotic liver disease and elevated liver enzyme levels despite the absence of typical symptoms such as central obesity.
