Abstract
Three weeks after completing a 4‐pulse course of itraconazole for toenail onychomycosis, a 25‐year‐old woman patient developed severe liver crisis and required an emergency liver transplant. We report the case and discuss the use of itraconazole in onychomycosis and dermatomycoses.Keywords
