Artemisinin, an ancient Chinese herbal remedy known colloquially as "Qinghao", is now used as treatment for malaria as recommended by the World Health Organisation. There have been few reports of artemisinin-induced liver injury. Most of these instances of hepatotoxicity are reportedly due to prolonged use of herbal remedies containing artemisinin. To our knowledge, we report the first case of intrahepatic ductopenia in a patient with cholestatic liver injury after artemisinin use.
