Summary: An 83-year-old male was admitted with possible community-acquired pneumonia and received azithromycin and ceftriaxone. After 2 doses of azithromycin, the patient's aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal and continued to rise with subsequent doses.
Timing of Anticoagulation in Atrial Fibrillation Status Post Cardioembolic Stroke.
J Pharm Pract

Pharmacy Practice Department, Harrison School of Pharmacy, 1383Auburn University, Auburn, AL, USA.
Background: Anticoagulation is the mainstay of secondary stroke prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation; however, few studies have assessed the optimal timing for initiation of anticoagulation post cardioembolic stroke. In the 2 weeks following an acute cardioembolic stroke, the risk of recurrent stroke is as high as 8%, but this risk must be balanced against the risk of hemorrhagic transformation with early initiation of anticoagulation.
Purpose: This study described the time to initiation of anticoagulation and evaluated the in-hospital incidence of hemorrhagic and ischemic complications in 106 patients with atrial fibrillation post an acute cardioembolic stroke.
