Case Scenario

Case Scenario

In a study comparing the use of fluconazole in preventing fungal sepsis in neonates, you found an unexpected finding of high direct bilirubin (cholestasis) with the use of fluconazole. No other previous studies have reported similar findings. You should:

  1. (a)

    Ignore this finding as no one has seen this in previous studies

  2. (b)

    Mention this finding in the results only

  3. (c)

    Disregard this because the higher incidence of cholestasis seen with the use of fluconazole could be due to chance

  4. (d)

    Discuss this unexpected finding and biological plausibility of fluconazole causing cholestasis in the discussion section of the manuscript
