This case highlights a rare complication of drug-induced liver injury complicating the management of infectious giant bulla. Surgical intervention became necessary due to the patient's inability to tolerate adequate antibiotic therapy.

Area of Science:

  • Pulmonology
  • Hepatology
  • Surgical Case Report

Background:

  • A 32-year-old male presented with dyspnea and left chest pain, diagnosed with left pneumothorax and a right giant bulla.
  • Initial management involved surgery for the left pneumothorax, which was followed by the observation of drug-induced liver injury.

Observation:

  • Post-surgery, the patient developed an infected left giant bulla with niveau formation and fever.
  • Antibiotic treatment resolved the infection but exacerbated the drug-induced liver injury.
  • Recurrent niveau formation in the right bulla suggested a potential for further complications.

Findings:

  • The patient experienced recurrent bulla infections, complicated by drug-induced liver injury.
  • The liver injury precluded adequate antibiotic therapy, necessitating an alternative treatment approach.

  • Right lung bullectomy was performed, leading to a resolution of infection one year post-surgery.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the challenges in managing infectious giant bulla when complicated by drug-induced liver injury.
    • It highlights the potential need for surgical intervention in such scenarios when conservative antibiotic management is not feasible.
    • The findings emphasize the importance of considering liver function in antibiotic selection and treatment duration for pulmonary infections.
