    AbstractOmeprazole; the first proton pump inhibitor (PPI) showing an effective acid inhibitory ability, provides the satisfactory therapy either in gastro-esophageal reflux symptom relief or in healing of erosive esophagitis. It's also effective in peptic ulcer disease. Up to date, omeprazole efficacy and safety are well established in many trials. Omeprazole-related hepatotoxicity is not very well recognized especially in pediatric population. We report a child who developed hepatitis following omeprazole intake. We believe that this is the first case report of omeprazole-induced hepatitis in pediatric population.
