Cloxacillin-induced cholestatic jaundice.

F Konikoff, J Alcalay, J Halevy

    The American Journal of Gastroenterology
    |November 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Cloxacillin can cause cholestatic jaundice, a reversible liver injury. This drug-induced liver injury was confirmed by rechallenge and specific immune markers, highlighting the need for careful diagnosis.

    Area of Science:

    • Hepatology
    • Clinical Pharmacology
    • Immunology

    Background:

    • Cholestatic jaundice is a complex clinical presentation.
    • Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) presents diagnostic challenges.
    • Oxacillin derivatives are commonly used antibiotics.

    Observation:

    • A patient developed cholestatic jaundice following cloxacillin treatment.
    • Symptoms resolved upon drug discontinuation.
    • Re-administration of cloxacillin led to jaundice recurrence.

    Findings:

    • Hepatotoxicity was confirmed through inadvertent rechallenge.
    • Positive tests for macrophage migration inhibitory factor indicated immune involvement.
    • Mast cell degranulation further supported an immune-mediated reaction.

    Implications:

    • Early recognition of cloxacillin-induced cholestatic hepatotoxicity is crucial.
    • Avoidance of unnecessary invasive procedures in diagnosing this condition.
    • Understanding the immunologic basis of DILI aids clinical management.
