ABSTRACT
Introduction: Drug-induced liver injury (DILI), which accounts for 4-6% of adverse drug reactions and can lead to liver failure and death, can be caused by multiple drugs, dietary supplements, traditional Chinese medicines and other health products. Depending on the type of cells affected, it is classified into hepatocellular, cholestatic, hepatocellular-colestatic mixed type and vascular lesion. We present a case with the objective of reviewing current concepts of this entity.
Clinical case: 31-year-old woman, no significant history, HIV serology negative, at the end of the fifth cycle of chemotherapy for Hodgkin’s lymphoma variant mixed cellularity. Presents clinical picture of atypical pneumonia, serology is determined for HIV1, which is positive, initiates treatment with tenofovir, emtricitabine and efavirenz, presents jaundice and alteration of liver function tests, is biopsied for liver biopsy that showed a drug-induced liver injury compatible outcome, decided to withdraw antiretroviral drug and reassessed for treatment change for HIV infection.
Conclusions: DILI is a well-recognized entity; its timely diagnosis and treatment are indispensable to reverse the damage.
