Cholestatic hepatitis associated with flucloxacillin. Derby, L. E., Jick, H., Henry, D. A., & Dean, A. D. The Medical Journal of Australia, 158(9):596--600, May, 1993. abstract bibtex OBJECTIVE: To estimate the frequency of cholestatic hepatitis of uncertain origin occurring among persons who had recently received flucloxacillin, a drug which has recently been reported as causing cholestatic hepatitis, and to compare this frequency with that related to oxytetracycline, a drug which has seldom been reported as causing this disorder. DESIGN: A retrospective cohort study using data automatically recorded on general practitioners' office computers. SETTING: Some 600 general practices in the United Kingdom. SUBJECTS: 132,087 people who received flucloxacillin and 145,844 people who received oxytetracycline. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Clinically documented cholestatic hepatitis of uncertain origin diagnosed 1-45 days after a prescription for flucloxacillin, 46-90 days after a prescription for flucloxacillin and, for comparison, 1-45 days after a prescription for oxytetracycline. RESULTS: There were 10 cases of cholestatic hepatitis of uncertain origin diagnosed within 45 days of receiving flucloxacillin that were either characteristic of or consistent with a syndrome recently described as being associated with this drug; there was one such case 46-90 days after a prescription for flucloxacillin; there were three such cases 1-45 days after a prescription for oxytetracycline. CONCLUSION: Flucloxacillin is a likely cause of cholestatic hepatitis. The risk is estimated to be in the range of 7.6 per 100,000 users (95% confidence interval, 3.6-13.9).
