RESUMO
Lung cancer is the third most common cancer in the United States. Lung adenocarcinoma is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer. On computed tomography (CT) it can appear as ground glass nodules, consolidative opacity, or solid mass lesions located in the periphery. Because it can appear as a consolidation, it can sometimes be confused with an infectious process such as pneumonia. We present a case of a 27-year-old male initially diagnosed with pneumonia; however, three months later, when he presented to the hospital with worsening pleuritic chest pain, fever, and dyspnea after a bronchoscopy a week before admission, pathology was positive for adenocarcinoma.
RESUMO
Amoxicillin-clavulanate (AC) is an antibiotic widely used for various infections. It has rarely been associated with drug-induced liver injury (DILI), mainly in males 55 or older with associated alcohol consumption or medications causing liver injury. Here we present an atypical case of a 22-year-old female with a past medical history of celiac disease and alopecia areata who was prescribed AC in urgent care for bilateral cervical lymphadenopathy, nausea, and chills. Her nausea and vomiting worsened after taking AC for three days, and she developed jaundice. On workup, she was found to have deranged liver functions, and pan-lobular hepatitis was confirmed on liver biopsy. She started to improve symptomatically after withdrawing AC, and her transaminases started showing a decreasing trend.
