Abstract

A 64-year-old male patient with right lung adenocarcinoma developed im-mune-mediated liver injury after treated with chemotherapy and pembrolizumab for 2 cycles and was hospitalized. While in hospital, the patient took amoxicillin capsule 0.5 g once every 8 hours to treat lung infection. After about 10 hours of medication, the patient developed maculopapular drug erup-tion without treatment. In the 2nd morning, The rash spread to the trunk and upper limbs and the color darkened. Amoxicillin capsule were discontinued which was considered to be related to macu-lopapular drug eruption and diphenhydramine 20 mg intramuscularly and cetirizine hydrochloride 10 mg orally once daily was given. On the 3rd day, the rashes on both upper limbs disappeared, and the rashes on the trunk partly subsided, and the color faded. on the 6th day, the rashes disappeared to-tally. The patient taken amoxicillin many times in the past had not developed an allergic reaction. It was considered that the maculopapular drug eruption induced by amoxicillin in this case was related with activation of immune status after pembrolizumab.
