Nine days after the halothane anesthesia, the patient began to suffer from acute hepatitis with symptoms of fever, diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, and jaundice. The patient was cared for at the department of internal medicine and discharged after 49 day's hospitalization. The exact causes of the acute hepatitis were still unknown.
