Understanding the structure of supramolecular complexes provides insight into their functional capabilities and how they can be modulated in the context of disease. Super-resolution microscopy (SRM) excels in performing this task by resolving ultrastructural details at the nanoscale with molecular specificity. However, technical limitations, such as underlabelling, preclude its ability to provide complete structures.

A definitive correlation between each toxin and its effects is difficult to establish due to concomitant potential toxins in the circulation. This article highlights an uncommon case of concomitant nitrofurantoin-induced autoimmune hepatitis and lung fibrosis that fulfills the definitive clinical criteria for diagnosis, presenting histological, imagiological, and immunological evidence of nitrofurantoin-induced toxicity.
