A 17-year-old male who had been diagnosed with ulcerative colitis was prescribed 80 mg prednisolone and 1, 500 nig 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA) per day. Two weeks after initiating therapy, he was referred to our hospital for evaluation of chest pain and high fever. Electrocardiography (ECG) showed ST elevation in limb and precordial leads. Chest pain with high fever and ECG changes were resolved after 5-ASA was discontinued. Three weeks later, the administration of a low dose of 5-ASA was associated with the immediate recurrence of pericarditis associated with chest pain, suggesting a hypersensitive reaction to 5-ASA in this patient.(Internal Medicine 40: 901-904, 2001)

A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaints of fever and fatigue. We initially treated the patient for a tick-borne disease after noticing a pustule on her leg; however, abdominal computed tomography (CT) showed multiple low-density areas in the liver and Chromobacterium violaceum was isolated from a blood culture. We diagnosed her with multiple liver abscesses secondary to Chromobacterium violaceum bacteremia. The patient was successfully treated with ciprofloxacin.
