ABSTRACT

Introducción. Los abscesos hepáticos son infecciones focales supurativas. La Klebsiella pneumoniae es el agente etiológico más frecuente. Afecta principalmente a hombres de edad media, diabéticos, con afecciones hepáticas o en contexto de inmunodepresión. Se clasifican en abscesos colangíticos, pioflebíticos, hematógenos, por continuidad, traumáticos y criptogénicos, según mecanismo de producción. Se manifiestan con dolor abdominal en hipocondrio derecho, sd. febril y sd. colestásico en presencia de obstrucción de vía biliar. La ecografía, TAC y la Resonancia magnética de abdomen son los métodos de elección para determinar topografía y morfología de las colecciones. El tratamiento consiste en el drenaje oportuno de la colección por vía percutánea o quirúrgica, asociado al tratamiento antibiótico. Objetivos: 1. Análisis epidemiológico de abscesos hepáticos durante la Pandemia por Covid 19 en una Institución privada de Tucumán. 2. Estudiar la fisiopatología y agentes patógenos responsables de los mismos. 3. Comparar estadísticas con era similar no Covid 19. Material y métodos. Estudio descriptivo retrospectivo. Se incluyeron seis pacientes con diagnóstico de Absceso Hepático, cinco de ellos del período de la era Covid 19 y uno de la era no Covid 19. Las variables analizadas fueron: cantidad de pacientes ingresados al Servicio, pacientes con absceso hepático, sexo, edad, comorbilidades, métodos de diagnóstico imagenológico utilizados, localización anatómica del absceso, número de lesiones, microbiología de la muestra quirúrgica y en sangre, tratamiento implementado, días desde el diagnóstico hasta la resolución, STROC y recidiva. Resultados: En el análisis epidemiológico se evidenció un notable descenso de la actividad quirúrgica en el periodo del 2020, respecto al mismo período del año previo, a predominio del mes de abril con un porcentaje de descenso del 52%, coincidiendo este período con el inicio de la cuarentena en la provincia. En nuestra serie resultaron todos masculinos, hipertensos y 3 de ellos diabéticos. Todos estudiados por ecografía y 3 complementaron con TAC con contraste EV. Fueron tratados en un promedio de 48hs desde el diagnóstico. Cultivos positivos, Klebsiella Pn (3), St aureus (1), E. Coli (1), Bacilo gram ­ (1). Hemocultivos: 3 negativos, 2 positivos para Klebsiella Pn y 1 para St. Aureus. 3 pacientes fueron sometidos a drenaje percutáneo, 2 a laparoscópico y uno convencional. Se registraron 2 STROC IIIA y 1 IIIB. Un paciente obitó, el resto recibió alta sanatorial. Se registraron 2 recidivas. Conclusiones: Nuestros pacientes, en su totalidad masculinos y diabéticos, desarrollaron abscesos hepáticos piógenos; el agente patógeno más frecuente fue la Klebsiella Pneumoniae. Los abscesos criptogénicos fueron los más prevalentes. En las recidivas documentadas, se determinó misma ubicación topográfica y agente etiológico del primer episodio, lo que nos lleva a preguntarnos sobre la eficacia del tratamiento implementado en cada caso.


Introduction: liver abscess is a common infection. Klebsiella pneumoniae was de most frecuently etiologic agent. The patients were middle-aged men with diabetes, another liver afection or immunodepression context. According to the production mechanism, they are classified in colangitics, pyophlebics, haematogenes, by continuity, traumatic and cryptogrnics. Patients usually present with right upper quadrant, fever, colestasic síndrome when bile-way obstruction exist. Imaging techniques such as ultrasonography, computed tomography scanning and magnetic resonance are useful tools to demostrtate a space occupying lesión and morfology of liver abscess. Treatment consist in timely drainage by percutaneous or surgical route, plus antibiotic treatment. Objetives: 1. Epidemiological análisis of liver abscesses during the pandemic Covid 19 in a private center in Tucumán. 2. Study physiology and pathogenic agents. 3. Campare statistics whit previusly period. Materials and methods: retrospective descriptive study. Six live abscess diagnosis patient were included, five of them included in stage Covid 19 and only one belong stage no Covid 19. Variables analysed: number of patients belong to the Service, number of patients whit liver abscess diagnosis, sex, age, comorbilities, imaging methods, location and number of abscess, microbiology of surgical sample and blood, treatment, days from diagnosis to resolution, STROC and recidivation. Results: epidemiological análisis showed a decrease in surgeries in the period 2020, compared to the same period of the previous year, a predominance in April with a percentage decrease of 52%, coinciding with the start of quarantine in the province. All patients were male, hypertensive and 3 of them with diabetes. Al lof them studied by ultrasound and tomography with contrast. They were treated at 48hours of diagnosis. Microbiology of surgical sample positive: Klebsiella Pn (3), St aureus (1), E. Coli (1), Bacillos gram ­ (1). Microbiology of blood: 3 negative, 2 positive to Klebsiella Pn and 1 to St. Aureus. 3 patients were drainage by percutaneous , 2 by laparoscopic and 1 by surgical conventional. They registered 2 STROC IIIA y 1 IIIB. 1 patiente dead, the rest were external from hospital. Conclusions: our patients developed liver abscess, they were male, diabetics and the most frecuently agent was the Klebsiella pneumoniae. Criptogenics abscess were the most prevalent. The same topographic location in the liver and the etiologic agent was determined in recurrence. That´s why we wonder about the effectiveness of the treatment implemented.

ABSTRACT

Although infrequent in the diagnostics areas, liver abscesses are of significant relevance, which is related to the high morbidity and mortality figures they can cause if they are not detected and treated in time. Although multiple operational classifications are described, the one most recognized for its usefulness is that related to its causative agent (pyogenic or bacterial infection, hydatid origin or secondary to infected hydatidosis, and amoebic or by invasive amebiasis). The objective of this article was to generate a study report regarding the morphological characteristics of liver abscesses, characterizing them according to their etiology, as well as describing their study and the latest recommended treatments.


Los abscesos hepáticos son entidades nosológicas de baja frecuencia, pero de significativa relevancia, la que se relacionada con las elevadas cifras de morbilidad y mortalidad que pueden causar si no son detectados y tratados a tiempo. Si bien se describen múltiples clasificaciones operacionales, aquella más reconocida por su utilidad es la relacionada a su agente causal (piógenos o bacterianos, hidatídicos o secundarios a hidatidosis infectada, y amebianos o por amebiasis invasora). El objetivo de este artículo fue generar un documento de estudio respecto de las características morfológicas de los abscesos hepáticos, caracterizándolos de acuerdo con su etiología, así como describir su estudio y tratamiento recomendado de acuerdo con el estado del arte.

ABSTRACT

Hydatid disease is a worldwide zoonosis and is localized in the liver in most cases. Its complications are numerous and include those related to the compression of adjacent viscera, infection of the cyst's contents or perforation of the cyst. Spontaneous rupture of the hepatic hydatid cyst into the duodenum is an extremely rare complication. The communication is, typically, not discovered until surgery. We present two cases of perforation of a liver cyst into the duodenum. One of them was diagnosed pre-operatively by a barium study. The surgical treatment of the lesion and its complications was complex but successful in both cases

ABSTRACT

Edwardsiella tarda is very seldom a cause for gastroenteritis in humans. This organism can also cause extraintestinal infections, such as soft tissue infections, meningitis, peritonitis, osteomyelitis, endocarditis and hepatobiliary tract disease, particularly in the setting of compromised immunity. We describe, for the first time a case of E. tarda sepsis with multiple liver abscesses associated with Cushing's syndrome as a result of recreational aquatic exposure.

ABSTRACT

We report a rare case of a massive fatal embolism that occurred in the middle of endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) and retrospectively examine the significant causes of the event. The patient was a 50-year old female with an uncertain history of previous abdominal surgery for multiple biliary stones 20 years prior. The patient presented with acute right upper quadrant pain. An abdominal computed tomographic (CT) scan revealed the presence of multiple stones in the common bile duct (CBD) and intra-hepatic duct (IHD) with biliary obstruction, multifocal liver abscesses, and air-biliarygram. Emergency ERCP showed a wide and straight opening of choledochoduodenostomy, which may have been created during a previous surgery, and multiple filling defects in the CBD. With the use of a forward endoscope, mud stones were extracted through the opening of the choledochoduodenostomy. Cardiac arrest suddenly developed during the procedure, and despite immediate resuscitation, the patient died due to a massive systemic air embolism. We reviewed previously reported fatal cases and accessed factors facilitating air embolisms in this case.

ABSTRACT

El tumor del seno endodérmico es una neoplasia maligna poco frecuente, con localización extragonadal extremadamente rara. Presentamos un caso de un paciente femenino de 58 años de edad, con diagnóstico clínico de absceso hepático. Los estudios imagenológicos mostraron una lesión neoplásica en los segmentos VI-VII del lóbulo hepático derecho. Además presentaba niveles elevados de alfa-fetoproteína (6616 ng/mL). Se le realizó hepatectomía derecha y drenaje toráxico. El estudio histopatológico e inmunohistoquímico concluyó que se trataba de un tumor del seno endodérmico. No se demostró la presencia de tumor primario extrahepático

ABSTRACT

A retrospective review of all hepatic abscesses identified at autopsy over the 24-year period 1977-2000 at the University Hospital of the West Indies (UHWI), Kingston, Jamaica, was conducted. Post mortem and microbiology records were reviewed. Data collected included age, gender, predisposing factors, organisms isolated, number of abscesses and associated conditions, such as diabetes mellitus. Data for the adults was analyzed separately. Thirty-nine cases of pyogenic abscesses were identified from 7480 post-mortems. Thirty-three occurred in adults of mean age 59.5 years. Sixty per cent of the abscesses were solitary. Biliary tract disease was the predisposing factor in 33 of cases. Six per cent were cryptogenic: 11/33 patients were diabetic and these were significantly older than non-diabetics (p < 0.014) Klebsiella pneumoniae was the most common organism isolated from diabetics (6.9). Only 2/33 abscesses were diagnosed ante-mortem. The abscesses in children were more frequently multiple and associated with extra-abdominal infection. Gram positive cocci were the commonly isolated organisms in children. There were no cases of amoebic abscess. The prevalence of hepatic abscess was low. Diabetes mellitus was a significant contributing factor. A high index of clinical suspicion is therefore warranted particularly in elderly diabetics

ABSTRACT

Parasitic diseases which during their course in the host switch the immune system from a T helper 1 to a T helper 2 response may be detrimental to the host, contributing to granuloma formation, eosinophilia, hyper-IgE, and increased susceptibility to bacterial and fungal infections. Patients and animals with acute schistosomiasis and hyper-IgE in their serum develop pyogenic liver abscess in the presence of bacteremia caused by Staphylococcus aureus. The Salmonella-S. mansoni association has also been well documented. The association of tropical pyomyositis (pyogenic muscle abscess) and pyogenic liver abscess with Toxocara infection has recently been described in the same context. In tropical countries that may be an interesting explanation for the great morbidity of bacterial diseases. If the association of parasitic infections and pyogenic abscesses and/or fungal diseases are confirmed, there will be a strong case in favor of universal treatment for parasitic diseases to prevent or decrease the morbidity of superinfection with bacteria and fungi

ABSTRACT

El absceso hepático es una patología que por tener diferentes formas clínicas de presentación es difícil de establecer su etiología conllevando a problemas en el manejo terapéutico inicial. Por éste motivo se realizó este estudio en el que ser relacionaron parámetros clínicos y de laboratorio para conocer el comporamiento de esta patología en nuestro medio y contribuir de alguna manera al mejor manejo de estos pacientes. Se realizó un estudio de serie de casos que incluyó 33 pacientes con absceso hepático que fueron ingresados al servicio de Medicina Interna en el período de Marzo de 1996 a Diciembre de 1998. Entre los resultados más importantes se encontró, que la mayoría de pacientes eran del sexo masculino, tenían escolaridad primaria, procedían del área urbana y eran mayores de 40 años. Los factores predominantes más importanes fueron alcoholismo, antecedentes personal de amebiasis intestinal y hacinamiento. Todos los pacientes presentaron dolor en hipocondrio derecho, hepatología y leucocitos. El abceso hepático único y localizado en el lóbulo derecho fue el más frecuentemente encontrado. El tratamiento médico fue el más empleado y la letalidad global fue mínima...

ABSTRACT

Yersinia enterocolitica is a gram-negative bacillus that thrives in conditions associated with iron overload. We decribe an unusual case of a diabetic patient with a previously unrecognized hemochromatosis presenting with Y. enterocolitica septicemia. He was admitted because of a 10 day history of abdominal pain, fever and jaundice. Blood cultures grew Y. enterocolitica. The abdomen CT scan showed multiple liver and splenic abscesses. Antibiotic treatment with ciprofloxacin (2 months) resulted in a good clinical response. Serum iron studies showed iron overload. Liver biopsy revealed moderate fibrosis and early cirrhosis with large amounts of hemosiderin granules deposited in hepatocytes and bile duct epithelium. This report reviews the literature and highlighsts that iron overload must be ruled out in Yersinia septicemia patients

ABSTRACT

O sintoma mais freqüente dos tumores malignos do fígado é a hepatomegalia associada a dor no abdome superior ou quadrante superior. Febre, anemia e leucocitose ocorrem raramente. Foi relatado um caso de um paciente de 26 anos que apresentou um quadro clínico de hepatomegalia dolorosa e presença de febre e leucocitose importante com neutrofilia e desvio nuclear à esquerda. A ultrasonografia evidenciou um abscesso hepático que foi drenado com um cateter percutâneo. Houve drenagem de 1000 ml de material purulento, cuja bacterioscopia e culturas aeróbica e anaeróbica foram negativos. Uma drenagem cirúrgica com biópsia da lesäo foi realizada uma semana após. O exame anatomopatológico evidenciou uma neoplasia maligna infecciosa indiferenciada
