“Enflurane hepatitis” has only recently been accepted as a disease entity. As far as the authors know, this paper is the first report on enflurane hepatitis in a patient with a previous history of halothane hepatitis. Our conclusion is that a potent halogenated inhalation agent should never be given to a patient if a prior administration of another such agent has led to the development of hepatic injury.
