Mycophenolate mofetil for drug-induced vanishing bile duct syndrome.
    World journal of gastroenterology, 2007, Dec-07, Volume: 13, Issue:45

    Amoxicillin/clavulanate is associated with liver injury, mostly of a cholestatic pattern. While outcomes are usually benign, progression to cirrhosis and death has been reported. The role of immunosuppressive therapy for patients with a protracted course is unclear. We report the case of an elderly patient who developed prolonged cholestasis secondary to amoxicillin/clavulanate. Vanishing bile duct syndrome was confirmed by sequential liver biopsies. The patient responded to prednisone treatment, but could not be weaned off corticosteroids, even when azathioprine was added. Complete withdrawal of both prednisone and azathioprine was possible by using mycophenolate mofetil, an inosine monophosphate dehydrogenase inhibitor. Sustained remission has been maintained for more than 3 years with low-dose mycophenolate mofetil.

Rapidly progressive cholestasis: An unusual reaction to amoxicillin/clavulanic acid therapy in a child.
    The Journal of pediatrics, 2000, Volume: 136, Issue:1

    Hepatotoxity associated with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid is usually a self-limited disease with complete recovery. We report a rapidly progressing liver disease with ductopenia and portal fibrosis in a 3-year-old boy treated with Augmentin.
