Nebbia. - In: FRONTIERS IN PEDIATRICS. - ISSN 2296-2360. - 10:(2022 Dec), pp. 1051887.1-1051887.6. [10.3389/fped.2022.1051887]
Abstract:
Ceftriaxone, a third-generation cephalosporin, is commonly used in pediatric patients and is generally well tolerated. Its more frequent adverse effects are biliary pseudolithiasis, urolithiasis, and hemolytic anemia. On the other hand, ceftriaxone-induced acute cholestatic hepatitis is a very rare condition, especially in children. Here, we describe a case of this condition in a young male child to highlight the importance of suspecting this drug-induced liver injury to achieve a prompt diagnosis.
