Is Ceftriaxone-Induced Biliary Pseudolithiasis Influenced by UDP-Glucuronosyltransferase 1A1 Gene Polymorphisms?

Ceftriaxone (cfx), a third-generation cephalosporin antibiotic, leads to transient cholelithiasis in some children, also known as pseudolithiasis. However, the underlying pathogenetic mechanism of this adverse effect has not yet been elucidated. We describe 3 children with ceftriaxone-induced pseudo...

However, the underlying pathogenetic mechanism of this adverse effect has not yet been elucidated. We describe 3 children with ceftriaxone-induced pseudolithiasis, who were also carriers of the A(TA)7TAA polymorphism of the UGT1A1 gene, implying that a cause and effect relation may exist.
