RESUMO
Objective:To analyze the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with tsutsugamushi disease in Hainan Province, so as to provide basis for diagnosis, treatment, prevention and control of the disease.Methods:Clinical data of 93 patients with tsutsugamushi disease in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Hainan Medical University from January 2018 to December 2019 were collected. Epidemiological data, clinical manifestations, examination results, treatment and outcome of the patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results:Of totally 93 patients with tsutsugamushi disease, 48 were male and 45 were female, with an average age of 50.73 years old. The peak time of onset was from June to October, with 46 cases (49.46%). Seventy cases (75.27%) were farmers, and 84 cases (90.32%) had a clear history of field work or grassland contact before onset. The clinical manifestations were fever (93/93, 100.00%), eschar or ulcer (42/93, 45.16%), headache (65/93, 69.89%), chills (60/93, 64.52%), rash (35/93, 37.63%), lymphadenopathy (51/93, 54.84%) and fatigue (40/93, 43.01%). Laboratory examination results: eosinophil reduced (74/93, 79.57%), platelet reduced (32/93, 34.41%); alanine aminotransferase, C reactive protein (CRP), procalcitonin (PCT) and erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) were increased in 81.72% (76/93), 97.85% (91/93), 20.43% (19/93) and 72.04% (67/93) of the patients, respectively. Eighty-four cases (90.32%) had abnormal results of chest imaging. All patients were cured by doxycycline.Conclusions:Tsutsugamushi disease is prevalent in summer and autumn in Hainan. It has various clinical manifestations. Doxycycline is an effective treatment drug. It is suggested that the relevant departments should strengthen the training of clinical diagnosis and treatment of tsutsugamushi disease by local clinicians to reduce the misdiagnosis rate.
RESUMO
Objeetive To analyze the causes and to explore prevention and management of bile leakage after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration with choledochoscopy followed by primary suturing of choledochal incision.Methods The clinical data of 52 patients with bile leakage after laparoscopic common bile duct exploration choledochoscopy and primary suturing of choledochal incision carried out for choledocholithiasis between June 2011 to June 2013 were retrospectively studied.Results All the 52 patients successfully underwent the laparoscopic surgery and left hospital.The operation time was (101 ± 26) minutes (range 55～ 145 minutes).The intraoperative blood loss was (36±28) ml (range 10～ 100 ml).All the patients were ambulatory after the first postoperative day.The recovery time of postoperative gastrointestinal function was (49.8 ± 12.5) hours (range 37 ～ 74 h).The total hospitalization time was (10.8 ± 2.5) days (range 7 ～ 15 days).The average hospitalization days after surgery was (5.7 ± 1.7) days.The average hospitalization cost was (24 827 ± 3 776) yuan.There were two patients who developed intraoperative bile leakage which was treated with further suturing.Five patients developed postoperative bile leakage and they were cured after unobstructed drainage for 5 days through conservative treatment.After a follow-up of 1 ～ 2years,there was no recurrent lithiasis.The stone clearance rate was 100％.There was no bile duct stricture or other complications.Conclusion In expert hands and with proper selection of patients,laparoscopic common bile duct exploration,choledochoscopy and primary suturing of choledochal incision were safe,effective and feasible for choledocholithiasis.
