We have reported the first observation of the Dubin-Johnson disease in a young Iranian women of jewish origine~. Considering the face that 9 patients out of 13 described by the authors from Israel were Iranians. we beleive that this disease should be more frequent• in Iran than recorded up to 'now and suggest that in every case of chronic icterus the question of possible high frequency of Dubin _ Johnson disease be considered and necessary studies and ivestigations be made to reach a correct diagnosis.
