Fever as an adverse reaction to carbamazepine. W. P. Sheridan, R. W, King and M. Gerstman. Aust. N.Z. J. Med., 1982, 12 , pp. 520–522. Two middle‐aged women developed fever and abnormal liver function tests while taking carbamazepine. In one case the fever recurred following drug challenge. There are possible links to the known immune‐related effects of the drug. Carbamazepine should be considered as a cause if fever or cholestasis develops in any person taking the drug.
