Meropenem-Induced Possible Mixed Drug-Induced Liver Injury With Cholestatic Evolution: A Case Report Evaluated Using the Updated RUCAM (2016). [PDF]
ABSTRACT Drug‐induced liver injury (DILI) remains a diagnosis of exclusion and requires systematic causality assessment. Meropenem is generally considered hepatically safe; however, rare cases of idiosyncratic DILI have been reported. We describe a 33‐year‐old female who developed progressive elevation of liver tests following exposure to meropenem ...
