ABSTRACT

Allthough infrequent, digestive fistulae in HIV/AIDS patients have been reported throughout the digestive tract from the esophagus to the anus, with predominance of esophageal fistulae. AIDS/HIV-associated opportunistic infections may invade the digestive system and lead to fistula formation. Tuberculosis is the most common infection associated with these esophageal fistulae. We report here one case of bile duct-duodenal fistula in a female AIDS patient with associated abdominal Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection compromising lymphnodes of the hepatic pedicle where the fistula was found. According to the reviewed literature, this is the third case of bile duct-duodenal fistula associated with abdominal tuberculosis in AIDS patient, and the first where both the fistula and the tuberculosis infection were diagnosed at laparotomy for acute abdomen. Whether the AIDS patient with abdominal pain needs or not a laparotomy to treat an infectious disease is often a difficult matter for the surgeon to decide, as most of the times appropriate medical treatment will bring more benefit

ABSTRACT

Os autores apresentan o caso de uma mulher de 31 anos, internada com quadro de dor abdominal, febre, emagrecimento e hipertensäo arterial maligna. O exame ultra-sonográfico, realizado por ocasiäo da admissäo, mostrou a imagem sugestiva de nefropatia crônica. No 3§ dia de internaçäo, apresentou abdome agudo, sendo a paciente submetida a laparotomia exploradora, quando se evidenciou peritonite purulenta e segmento ileal com múltiplas perfuraçöes, que foi ressecado. O resultado do exame anatomopatológico do íleo ressecado revelou poliarterite nodosa. A paciente evoluiu com falência de multiplos órgäos e óbito. Comenta-se a dificuldade do diagnóstico e, com base em experiência de literatura, sugerem tratamento através de plasmaferese, tendo em vista que a terapêutica convencional com metilprednisolona e ciclosfosfamida mostrou-se, mais uma vez, insuficiente em casos graves
