Davide Smussi, Resident in medical oncology at ASST Spedali Civili Hospital in Brescia, shared an article by Matteo Carpani, et al. on LinkedIn:
“Clinical nugget from my exam of Clinical Medicine: never prescribe amoxicillin in a patient with acute EBV-related mononucleosis—otherwise, they may develop a widespread cutaneous rash!
But what about patients affected by EBV-related nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC)?
We first report a clinical case of amoxicillin-induced atypical exanthema in a patient undergoing systemic treatment for EBV+ NPC, associated with an acute increase and decrease of the circulating levels of EBV-DNA.
And congratulations to my colleague Matteo Carpani for his first first-author publication!”
