Abstract

A 56yearold gentleman with benign recurrent intrahepatic cholestasis BRIC suffered from recurrent episodes of pruritus for over 40 years The treatment prescribed namely cholestyramine was minimally effective However rifampin 150 mg bid promptly and completely relieved his severe pruritus The diagnosis of BRIC being a rare condition may go unrecognized The severity of the lifelong episodes of intermittent cholestasis with pruritus in BRIC may be extremely distressing to the affected patient Administration of rifampin during the acute episode of severe pruritus led to a marked improvement in his quality of life
