Summary

Pediatric cholelithiasis is rare, but ceftriaxone can cause reversible biliary pseudolithiasis. This condition mimics gallstones and resolves after antibiotic discontinuation.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Gastroenterology
  • Pharmacology
  • Hepatology

Background:

  • Cholelithiasis in children is infrequent and often linked to predisposing conditions like biliary tract abnormalities or hemolytic diseases.
  • The antibiotic ceftriaxone has been recently identified as a potential cause of gallbladder precipitation, mimicking gallstones.

Observation:

  • This paper details a pediatric case of biliary pseudolithiasis.
  • The patient developed this condition after six days of ceftriaxone treatment.

Findings:

  • Biliary pseudolithiasis, a reversible complication, was observed in the patient.
  • The condition resolved completely within eleven days after ceftriaxone therapy was stopped.

Implications:

  • This highlights the importance of considering medication side effects in pediatric cholelithiasis diagnosis.
  • It suggests conservative management and monitoring for reversible causes before considering surgical intervention like cholecystectomy.
