AB  - The recreational use of a drug such as 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine (MDMA), 
      also known as "ecstasy," may be associated with significant side effects. 
      Although liver failure with ecstasy is rare, the use of the drug should be 
      investigated in all patients with severe hepatitis of unknown origin. Early 
      diagnosis and intervention can prevent patients from ending up in liver 
      transplantation. Here, we present a case of a 27-year-old female who developed 
      acute liver injury secondary to recreational intoxication with ecstasy.
