Penicillin-induced hepatotoxicity may not be as uncommon as has been thought. There have been three reviews. The first was a comparison of the assessment of drug-induced liver injury obtained by two different methods, the Council for International Organizations of Medical Sciences (CIOMS) scale and the Maria Victorino (M V) clinical scale (66). Three independent experts evaluated 215 cases of hepatotoxicity reported using a structured reporting form. There was absolute agreement between the two scales in 18% of cases, but there was no agreement in cases of fulminant hepatitis or death. The authors concluded that the CIOMS instrument is more likely to lead to a conclusion compatible with the specialist s empirical approach.

Council for International Organization of Medical Science (CIOMS) CIOMS is associated with safety, providing various forms such as the form normally used to report SAEs (CIOMS I) but also many other types of forms, for example CIOMS II for the international reporting of periodic drug-safety update reports. The council is active as a medium for international discussion on safety and bioethics (see Chapter 14).
