A case of halothane‐associated liver damage and renal failure is described in an 18‐month‐old girl after her third halothane anaesthetic. There had been two uneventful enflurane anaesthetics. The diagnosis was confirmed by detecting antibodies specific for halothane‐associated liver failure using a recently developed enzyme‐linked immunosorbent assay.
