TI  - Ecstasy induced acute hepatic failure. Case reports.
PG  - 53-5
AB  - 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), an amphetamine derivative known as 
      ecstasy, has stimulating and hallucinogenic properties. It has become a substance 
      that is widely used especially by young people. Hepatotoxicity is one of the rare 
      side effects of this substance and can be fatal. Ecstasy-induced fulminant 
      hepatitis has been reported in case reports. The clinical course and the 
      prognosis of the cases may differ. In this article, two cases in whom 
      ecstasy-induced fulminant hepatic failure had developed and who were treated with 
      liver transplantation, and one case which recovered with treatment, have been 
      presented.
