Resumen

La amoxicilina-ácido clavulánico es un antibiótico ampliamente utilizado en la práctica clínica, la mayoría de las veces de forma empírica, y se han descrito casos de hepatotoxicidad, principalmente de tipo colestásico, asociados a su empleo.

Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 42 años que desarrolló una lesión hepatocelular aguda y posteriormente cirrosis. Recibió amoxicilina-ácido clavulánico en dos ocasiones con un intervalo de 4 meses. Se excluyeron otras posibles causas de daño hepático.

Si bien la hepatotoxicidad por amoxicilina-ácido clavulánico está ampliamente descrita en la bibliografía, no existe ningún caso publicado con evolución a cirrosis en el adulto.

Abstract

Amoxicillin-clavulanic acid is a commonly used antibiotic in clinical practice. It is usually prescribed on an empirical basis and several cases of hepatotoxicity with cholestasis have been described. We report the case of a 42-year-old man who developed an acute hepatocellular lesion with progression to cirrhosis. The patient received amoxicillin-clavulanic acid twice with an interval of four months. Other causes of hepatic failure were excluded. Although amoxicillin-clavulanic acid-induced hepatotoxicity has been widely documented, there are no other reports describing its progression to cirrhosis in an adult.
