Here we report a case of a 41-year-old female who developed fever, pruritic skin rash, jaundice, eosinophilia, abnormal liver function tests, and acute renal failure 3 weeks after the beginning of allopurinol treatment, complicated with severe hepatocyte necrosis around most terminal hepatic venules suggesting Budd-Chiari syndrome.
