Of 20 patients treated for pancreatic abscess during the years 1984-1991, two patients were found to have adenocarcinoma of the pancreas associated with their pancreatic abscesses. In one patient an adenocarcinoma of the proximal pancreas caused ductal obstruction, which may have been the primary cause of an abscess distal to the tumor. In the second patient, metastatic adenocarcinoma of the pancreas and a concurrent pancreatic abscess were found when the patient's abdomen was explored for complications related to gallstone pancreatitis. In both patients, the tumor was unresectable at presentation. A detailed review of these cases is presented as well as a review of the related literature. 相似文献

Coma on admission, multiple, deep, or ruptured abscess, inaccurate diagnosis, and inability to prove the diagnosis were factors contributing to mortality. In survivors, abscess generally followed cranial injury, surgery, or contiguous infection; in most fatal cases, brain abscess was secondary to a more remote primary infection. Ruptured or multiple abscesses or positive spinal fluid cultures were not found in survivors, and coma was present in only one. Fatal cases in patients admitted in coma usually did not exhibit focal signs, seizures, or symptoms of meningitis early in the illness; none of these patients had prior cranial injury or surgery. Absence of these delayed their seeking care and accurate diagnosis. Ruptured abscess was frequent in these patients. Most patients not in coma on admission had focal signs, seizures, symptoms or meningitis, or had prior cranial injury or surgery. 相似文献

We retrospectively reviewed 122 patients with culture-proven bacterial brain abscesses (BBA) at our hospital over a period of 20 years and identified seven fusobacterial brain abscess patients. Here we describe the therapeutic experience in fusobacterial BBA cases and compare the clinical features of patients with single pathogen infection between fusobacterial and non-fusobacterial brain abscesses. Fusobacterium spp. accounted for 6% of the implicated pathogens of monomicrobial BBA. All seven fusobacterial brain abscess patients contracted the infection spontaneously, and two cases had important preceding events. F. nucleatum was the commonest one of the species described. Clinical presentations and laboratory data of these seven patients were similar to those of non-fusobacterial BBA, and in these patients the diagnosis was only confirmed by positive culture results. All seven patients were successfully treated with combined surgical and antimicrobial therapy. Although the average age tends to be older and there is a higher prevalence of multiloculated brain abscesses in patients with this type of BBA, the therapeutic outcome can be favorable with early diagnosis and prompt treatment. 相似文献

Experience with intrarectal ultrasonography (IRUS) is limited for the evaluation of perianal sepsis. The purpose of this article is to report our experience with IRUS in evaluating 24 cases of suspected perianal abscess and fistula. IRUS was performed intraoperatively using a Brüel & Kjaer (Model #1846; Naerum, Denmark) endoanal ultrasound scanner with a 7-MHz transducer. After completion of the IRUS, careful anorectal examination and appropriate surgical therapy were performed. At surgery, 19/24 patients were found to have perirectal abscesses, with all 19 cases correctly identified preoperatively by IRUS. In 12 cases (63 percent), IRUS correctly defined the relationship between the abscesses and sphincters by Parks' classification. At surgery, internal openings of fistulous tracts were found in 14/19 cases, but IRUS identified only 4/14 (28 percent). In 6/24 cases, IRUS and clinical evaluation did not demonstrate a perirectal abscess. The role of IRUS in the evaluation of perirectal abscess is evolving. Certainly, uncomplicated abscesses can be managed without ultrasonography. However, IRUS can be an adjunct to careful evaluation of complex perianal suppurative disease. 相似文献

Although brain abscesses are frequently cryptogenic in origin, bacteria must reach the brain either by direct or hematogenous spread. Right-to-left shunts, caused either by intrapulmonary vascular malformations or congenital heart defects, may allow microorganisms to evade the normal host defenses in the lungs and lead to development of brain abscesses. Two patients recently presented with brain abscesses and were found to have conditions associated with right-to-left shunts. The diagnosis of brain abscess should prompt the clinician to consider right-to-left shunts as a possible predisposing condition for brain abscess. 相似文献

A rare case of low-grade astrocytoma associated with abscess formation occurred in a 52-year-old man presenting with Broca's aphasia. He underwent craniotomy and tumor removal under the impression of brain tumor with necrotic cystic change. Abscess accumulation within the intra-axial tumor was found intraoperatively. Literature related to brain abscess with brain tumor is reviewed, with an emphasis on abscesses with astrocytoma. We discuss the common brain tumors that are associated with abscess, pathogens that coexist with brain tumor, and the pathogeneses of coexisting brain abscess and tumor. It is very important to know how to differentiate between and diagnose a brain abscess and tumor, or brain abscess with tumor, preoperatively from clinical presentation and through the use of computed tomography, conventional magnetic resonance imaging, diffusion-weighted imaging or magnetic resonance spectroscopy. 相似文献

Perianal abscesses and fistulas 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Paravasthu S. Ramanujam M.D. M. Leela Prasad M.D. Dr. Herand Abcarian M.D. Ana B. Tan R.N. E.T. 《Diseases of the colon and rectum》1984,27(9):593-597
In a five and one-half year period, 1023 patients with anorectal abscesses and fistulas were treated. Under regional anesthesia
the abscesses were unroofed and debrided and a primary fistulotomy was performed whenever a low fistula was identified. In
355 (34.7 per cent) an internal fistulous opening was demonstrated at the time of abscess drainage. Thirty-two patients had
suprashincteric fistulas and underwent two-stage fistulotomy using a seton. Perianal abscesses were encountered in 42.7 per
cent of the patients, followed by ischiorectal (22.7 per cent), intersphincteric (21.4 per cent), and supralevator (7.33 per
cent). The patients with supralevator and intersphincteric abscesses had a high incidence of fistula identified during abscess
drainage. The recurrence rates were 3.7 per cent in the group with abscess drainage only and 1.8 per cent in the group that
had primary fistulotomy along with abscess drainage. The follow-up period averaged 36 months. To accomplish adequate drainage
and identify the deeper components and associated fistulous opening (34.7 per cent of the entire group), careful examination
under regional anesthesia is recommended. Early aggressive treatment of an anorectal abscess and fistula significantly reduces
the possibility of recurrent abscesses and/or the need for further surgery.

Abstract: Brain abscesses are a rare, severe complication of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT). They are almost exclusively due to fungi, Nocardia , or Toxoplasma , and usually occur within months of surgery. Here we report the case of an adolescent who developed a brain abscess due to Klebsiella pneumoniae 11.5 years after OLT. Fever was absent and laboratory parameters were not indicative of infectious disease, and therefore the diagnosis of a central nervous system neoplasm was considered. Subsequent magnetic resonance imaging and spectroscopy led to a diagnosis of a brain abscess, and to prompt appropriate antibiotic treatment. This case shows that K. pneumoniae may cause a brain abscess long after liver transplantation. The appearance of neurological symptoms should alert clinicians to consider a brain abscess even in the absence of overt clinical/laboratory signs of inflammation, which may be blunted by chronic immunosuppression. 相似文献

Introduction:Klebsiella pneumoniae is once thought to be a less common cause of brain abscess in adults and is mainly hospital-acquired. Community-acquired CNS infection (brain abscess and meningitis) caused by K pneumoniae without other metastatic septic abscesses is exceedingly rare. Therefore, we present a rare adult patient with invasive cerebral abscess and meningitis without other invasive abscesses related to K pneumoniae.Patient concerns:A 64-year-old woman experienced a sudden onset of severe continuous headache accompanied by intermittent nausea, vomiting, and fever. Meanwhile, she experienced tinnitus and had a feeling of swelling in the right ear.Diagnosis:Cranial magnetic resonance imaging revealed abnormal hyperintensity signals in the left head of the caudate nucleus. The next generation sequencing of cerebral spinal fluid showed infection with K pneumoniae. The patient was diagnosed with K pneumoniae-related brain abscesses and meningitis.Interventions:Antibacterial treatment was carried out for 2 months.Outcomes:The patient recovered well.Conclusion:Despite the progress of modern neurosurgical techniques, new antibiotics, and modern imaging techniques, brain abscesses are still a potentially fatal infection. Streptococci are common organisms that result in brain abscesses. Nevertheless, Klebsiella species, once thought to be a less common cause of brain abscess in adults, has become an increasingly important cause of brain abscess, especially in Asia. 相似文献

Background Percutaneous abscess drainage
(PAD) is the current therapy for abdominal or pelvic collections.
PAD has poorer curative rate for abscesses in
Crohn’s disease (CD), commonly complicated by wide fistulas
and multiloculations.
Methods We retrospectively
evaluated abscess cure rate, complications and final outcome
in 87 CD patients, 70 with spontaneous and 17 with
postoperative pelvic abscesses, all treated with CT-guided
PAD during the last 7 years.
Results A 77% primary success
rate and an 84.3% secondary success rate were
obtained without major complications. The higher success
rate for PAD was for postoperative (88.2%) rather than
spontaneous abscesses (74.2%). Seventy-two percent of
treated patients did not develop recurrent abscesses and
underwent elective surgery up to 40 months later.
Conclusion PAD in pelvic abscess complicating CD is an
effective alternative to early surgery with satisfactory curative success rates. In unsuccessful cases, due to wide fistulas
or postoperative anastomotic dehiscence, PAD helped in
planning elective surgery, reducing surgical complications. 相似文献

Recurrent anorectal abscesses 总被引:5,自引:0,他引:5

A prospective study of 100 recurrent anorectal abscesses in 97 patients was carried out to elucidate the cause of recurrence.
Sixty-four patients had had one, 12 had had two, and the rest had had more than two prior abscesses. In 32 patients, the previous
diagnosis was erroneous; the patients had hidradenitis suppurativa which was excised. In 68 patients, the cause of recurrence
was insufficient prior treatment. Thirty-one patients (45 per cent) had fistulous abscesses requiring fistulotomy. Twenty-two
patients (32 per cent) had large abscesses associated with fistula necessitating unroofing of the abscess along with fistulotomy.
In 15 patients (22 per cent), no associated fistula was detected, but they were found to have missed components (i.e., ischiorectal, supralevator, postanal abscesses) and were successfully treated with drainage of the missed abscess component.
All recurrent abscesses must be examined carefully under anesthesia to identify associated fistulas or missed components,
or to exclude hidradenitis suppurativa.

Incidence,outcome, and proposed management of isolated abscesses complicating acute left-sided colonic diverticulitis 总被引:1,自引:2,他引:1
Dr. P. Ambrosetti M.D. J. Robert M.D. J. A. Witzig M.D. D. Mirescu M.D. R. de Gautard M.D. F. Borst M.D. A. Rohner M.D. 《Diseases of the colon and rectum》1992,35(11):1072-1076
In a prospective evaluation of 140 consecutive patients with acute left-sided colonic diverticulitis demonstrated by computerized tomography (CT) in all cases, 22 (16 percent) were found to have an associated abscess without peritonitis. Thirteen of these 22 required surgery (seven during the first stay and six from 2 to 11 months after the acute episode; median, three months). Nine patients were treated conservatively, eight of whom are now totally asymptomatic 24 months after the initial attack (range, 10-47 months). There were 10 mesocolic abscesses (seven treated with antibiotics alone), nine pelvic abscesses (seven requiring surgery), and three intra-abdominal abscesses, all operated upon. These results suggest that mesocolic abscesses can usually be managed conservatively without drainage; should surgery be necessary, en bloc resection with immediate anastomosis can usually be safely performed. Pelvic and intraabdominal abscesses behave more aggressively and usually require a two-stage surgical procedure when initial percutaneous drainage cannot be performed or is felt to be hazardous. 相似文献

Cryptogenic pyogenic hepatic abscesses are a diagnosis of exclusion. We have identified two patients with severe dental disease at the time of the diagnosis of their liver abscess. In both cases, oral flora was cultured from the abscess. Unlike a previous report, both patients were immunocompetent. When compared with a group of patients with liver abscesses and diverticulitis, two differences were found. In contrast to the single abscesses seen in 10 of 10 patients with diverticulitis, the patients with dental disease had multiple abscesses (p < 0.02). In addition, Fusobacterium nucleatum was cultured from both dental disease associated abscesses but only one of the diverticulitis associated liver abscesses (p < 0.05). If a liver abscess is thought to be cryptogenic, a thorough dental exam is recommended. 相似文献

AIMS: The purposes of this study were to determine the clinical features and to identify prognostic factors of abscesses associated with infective endocarditis. METHODS AND RESULTS: During a 5-year period from January 1989, 233 patients with perivalvular abscesses associated with infective endocarditis were enrolled in a retrospective multicentre study. Of the patients, 213 received medical surgical therapy and 20 medical therapy alone. No causative microorganism could be identified in 31% of cases. Sensitivity for the detection of abscesses was 36 and 80%, respectively using transthoracic and transoesophageal echocardiography. Surgical treatment consisted of primary suture of the abscess (38%), insertion of a felt aortic or mitral ring using Teflon or pericardium (42%), or debridment of the abscess cavity (20%). The 1 month operative mortality was 16%. Actuarial rates for overall survival at 3 and 27 months in operated patients were 75 +/- 10% and 59 +/- 11%, respectively. Increasing patient age, staphylococcal infection, and fistulization of the abscess were found to be independent risk factors in both 1 month and overall operative mortality. Renal failure was a risk factor predictive of operative mortality at 1 month, whereas uncontrolled infection and circumferential abscess were regarded as risk factors predictive of overall operative mortality. CONCLUSION: The data determined prognostic factors of abscesses associated with infective endocarditis. 相似文献

A case of brain abscess due to Eikenella corrodens in a 67-year-old woman is reported. To our knowledge, this is the first case in which the causative organism has been isolated from the occipital lobe. E. corrodens may be the cause of apparently sterile brain abscesses encountered in neurosurgery and should be considered in the differential etiology of brain abscess. 相似文献

Abstract
Background: Bacterial brain abscess after a neurosurgical procedure has become an important occurrence in the hospital setting. However,
no information about the frequency, clinical relevance, and the outcome has been reported.
Patients and Methods: Over a period of 19 years (1986– 2004), a total of 31 patients were retrospectively identified as having brain abscesses after
neurosurgical procedures and were enrolled in this study.
Results: Those included in this study accounted for 0.17% (31/18600) of all neurosurgical procedures in the same period. There was
an increased percentage of adult postneurological nosocomial brain abscess compared to all adult bacterial brain abscesses
in recent years. The majority of cases were due to Gram-negative bacilli and polymicrobial infections, including both Gram-negative
bacilli and Staphylococcus species. Furthermore, the appearance of multi-antibiotic resistant strains was also noted during the study period. The overall
fatality rate was 16%.
Conclusion: Post-neurosurgical states have become important predisposing factor for bacterial brain abscess. In patients that undergo
neurosurgical procedures and develop smoldering fever, progressively disturbed consciousness, headache, and new onset focal
neurologic signs, immediate neuro-imaging studies should be undertaken to determine whether bacterial brain abscess is present.
Although mortality may be related to the primary brain pathology, early diagnosis and timely use of appropriate antibiotics
based on antimicrobial susceptibility testing are also essential for survival. 相似文献

Objective. Iliopsoas abscess is a relatively rare disease. Many cases present atypical clinical characteristics. Iliopsoas abscess can be primary or secondary to gastrointestinal and genitourinary infections and in developed countries most of these abscesses are of non-tuberculous aetiology. A high index of clinical suspicion, the past and recent history of the patient and imaging studies can be helpful in diagnosing the disease. Early treatment with drainage, surgery or appropriate antibiotic therapy is necessary before the sepsis becomes lethal. The purpose of the study was to present five cases with iliopsoas abscesses based on the rarity of this clinical entity. Material and methods. Five cases with iliopsoas abscess, treated during the past 10 years were analysed retrospectively, with emphasis on the diagnostic and therapeutic approach to the disease. Results. Three out of five cases were primary abscesses; one was of tuberculous aetiology and one secondary to bowel perforation due to a tumour. Staphylococcus aureus was the main bacterium in primary abscesses. Percutaneous drainage with administration of appropriate antibiotics was the main treatment. The secondary psoas abscess was treated successfully with surgery. Owing to long-standing septic and atypical symptoms before admission, one case had a lethal course, despite the early hospital diagnosis and treatment. Conclusions. The aetiology of iliopsoas abscess can vary, disposing to a high index of suspicion. Imaging studies can confirm the diagnosis early, and differentiation between primary and secondary type determines the most appropriate kind of treatment. 相似文献

A 45-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital with complaints of fever and lumbago. She was treated for adult T-cell leukemia and thrombocytopenia with 20 mg/day of prednisolone. CT scan showed multiple abscesses in right peri-kidney, right iliopsoas muscle, left subcutaneous region in the abdominal wall and the brain. Left subcutaneous abscess was drained. Gram-positive organisms consisting of filaments were found, and Nocardia farcinica was grown in cultures. After two months of chemotherapy (FMOX, MINO and AMK), all abscesses except one in the brain disappeared. Cerebral abscess was cured fifty days after the start of the treatment with oral administration of Sulfamethoxazole-trimethoprim (SMX/TMP). The mortality of Nocardial cerebral abscess is high. This patient is a very rare case in which multiple Nocardial abscesses including brain abscess was cured by chemotherapy. 相似文献

Four patients with liver abscesses and Crohn's disease are described, and reports of 14 cases in the English language literature are reviewed. The incidence of liver abscess in patients with Crohn's disease (114-297 per 100,000) appears to be higher than that of liver abscess in the general population (8-16 per 100,000). Frequently the clinical manifestations of liver abscess are mistaken for a reactivation of Crohn's disease, and diagnosis is delayed. In comparison to patients with liver abscess in the general population, patients with Crohn's disease and liver abscess are considerably younger, are more likely to have multiple rather than solitary abscesses, and usually have a predisposing intraabdominal focus of infection, rather than a biliary one. Streptococci, especially Streptococcus milleri, are the most frequent cause of liver abscess in patients with Crohn's disease. Liver scanning should be performed routinely in patients with Crohn's disease in whom a febrile illness cannot be completely explained by bowel disease, or in whom fever does not respond to drainage of intraabdominal abscesses. 相似文献

From October 1988 to March 2001, 5 patients with 6 episodes of intracranial abscesses were admitted to Chiba-Children's Hospital. Average age when they were admitted was 10 years and 1 month. Initial clinical symptoms were fever in 5 cases, and headache in 1 case. It took 21 days from the appearance of the initial symptoms to diagnose the intracranial abscess. Four out of 5 patients had underlying diseases that were prone to cause intracranial abscess. Two patients of these were cyanotic congenital heart diseases (tetralogy of Fallot and asplenic heart), and the other 2 were sinusitis. Computed tomography revealed that brain abscess was found in 5 cases, and subdural empyema in 1 case. There were 3 single and multiple abscesses each. The most common lesion was the temporal lobe. Eight bacterial strains were isolated from 5 cases. Five were streptococci (3 were Streptococcus milleri group, other 2 were Streptococcus oralis and microaerophilic Streptococcus) and 3 were anaerobes (Prevotella loescheii, Prevotella bivia and Fusobacterium nucleatum). Antimicrobial therapy was started with panipenem-betamiprone in 3 cases, imipenem-cilastatin, ceftriaxone, and ampicillin in the other cases resre ctinely. Duration of therapy ranged from 28 to 67 days (45 days, average). In 5 cases, drainage with craniotomy was performed in addition to antimicrobial therapy. One case was treated medically alone, but this was the only case with recurrence after 1 year 2 months. There were no serious complications such as intraventricular rupture of abscess. All patients had good outcomes, but mild neurological sequela was found in 1 case. 相似文献
