BACKGROUND Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) can present clinically as a spectrum that includes asymptomatic elevation of transaminases, acute or chronic hepatitis, and acute liver failure. Idiosyncratic DILI is more likely to affect individuals with comorbidities, and to have a wide range of clinical presentations. Although antibiotics are associated with DILI, the fluoroquinolone, ciprofloxacin, is a rarely reported cause. Two cases of idiosyncratic DILI following ciprofloxacin treatment are described, including a review of the literature. CASE REPORT Case 1: A 35-year-old man was treated with ciprofloxacin for periorbital cellulitis. On the second day of ciprofloxacin treatment, he developed abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting and increased serum levels of liver transaminases, aspartate aminotransferase (AST), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT). Further investigations excluded infectious hepatitis, autoimmune disease, or structural liver disease. Exclusion of other causes of DILI and cessation of ciprofloxacin resulted in clinical improvement and normalization of liver function tests (LFTs). Case 2: An 82-year-old man was treated with ciprofloxacin for osteomyelitis. On the tenth day of ciprofloxacin treatment, he developed jaundice and abnormal LFTs, including increased AST, ALT, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and total bilirubin. Further investigations excluded infectious hepatitis, autoimmune disease, or structural liver disease. Exclusion of other causes of DILI and cessation of ciprofloxacin resulted in clinical improvement and normalization of LFTs. CONCLUSIONS Idiosyncratic DILI due to ciprofloxacin treatment is rare. These two cases have shown that timely diagnosis and discontinuation of ciprofloxacin can prevent the progression of DILI, reduce liver damage, and reduce mortality rates from DILI.
药物性肝损伤(DILI)在临床上可表现为多种形式,包括转氨酶无症状升高、急性或慢性肝炎以及急性肝衰竭。特异质性DILI更易影响患有合并症的个体,且临床表现范围广泛。尽管抗生素与DILI有关,但氟喹诺酮类药物环丙沙星导致DILI的情况鲜有报道。本文描述了两例环丙沙星治疗后发生的特异质性DILI病例,并对相关文献进行了综述。病例报告:病例1:一名35岁男性因眶周蜂窝织炎接受环丙沙星治疗。在环丙沙星治疗的第二天,他出现腹痛、恶心、呕吐,血清肝转氨酶、天冬氨酸转氨酶(AST)和丙氨酸转氨酶(ALT)水平升高。进一步检查排除了感染性肝炎、自身免疫性疾病或肝脏结构性疾病。排除其他DILI病因并停用环丙沙星后,临床症状改善,肝功能检查(LFTs)恢复正常。病例2:一名82岁男性因骨髓炎接受环丙沙星治疗。在环丙沙星治疗的第十天,他出现黄疸和LFTs异常,包括AST、ALT、碱性磷酸酶(ALP)和总胆红素升高。进一步检查排除了感染性肝炎、自身免疫性疾病或肝脏结构性疾病。排除其他DILI病因并停用环丙沙星后,临床症状改善,LFTs恢复正常。结论:环丙沙星治疗引起的特异质性DILI较为罕见。这两例病例表明,及时诊断并停用环丙沙星可预防DILI进展,减少肝损伤,降低DILI死亡率。
