Abstract

Intestinal obstruction due to ligament (fibrous band) arising from the top of Meckel's diverticulum is a rare cause. To date, in the world, only a few cases have been reported and there are not enough statistics on the incidence of this disease. This case presentation will help doctors working in the field of pediatric surgery or of pediatric imaging diagnosis have more experiences on diagnosis and treatment, and enrich the medical literature on this rare disease. We report a case of an 8‐year‐old boy with intestinal obstruction due to ligament arising from Meckel's diverticulum with complete data set such as clinical manifestations, imaging diagnosis (ultrasound, unprepared abdominal x‐ray, computerized tomography scanner with contrast injection), surgical information, and histopathological findings. Intestinal obstruction due to the ligament arising from the apex of Meckel's diverticulum is an extremely rare disease and has asymptomatic imaging features so the preoperative diagnosis is only based on the indirect findings of computerized tomography scanner. The early diagnosis of an intestinal obstruction due to fibrous band can be made by using imaging methods such as ultrasound, unprepared abdominal x‐ray, computerized tomography scanner with contrast injection, contributing to the prompt diagnosis in order to avoid serious complications including bowel necrosis, intestinal perforation, and perforated diverticulum.

Abstract

金沢大学医薬保健研究域医学系, To identify hepatitis C virus (HCV) transmission routes among injection drug users in Northern Vietnam, plasma samples were collected from 486 drug users in Hai Phong. Plasma viral RNA was extracted from 323 (66.5%) samples that were positive for anti-HCV antibodies. Portions of the HCV 5′- untranslated (5′UTR)-Core and NS5B genes were amplified by reverse-transcriptase polymerase chain reaction, sequenced directly, and genotyped in 194 and 195 specimens, respectively. Both regions were genotyped in 137 specimens. In the 5′UTR-Core region, genotype 6a was predominant (32.5%), followed by genotype 1a (23.7%), genotype 1b (20.6%), and genotype 6e (14.4%). In the NS5B region, genotype 1a was predominant (42.6%), followed by genotype 1b (24.1%), genotype 6a (14.4%), genotype 3b (7.2%), and genotype 6e (5.1%). Of the 137 specimens with both regions genotyped, 23 (16.8%) showed discordant genotyping results between the two regions, suggesting possible recombination and/or dual infection. Phylogenetic analysis revealed close associations between Hai Phong strains and strains from Southern China: the Yunnan province for genotype 3b; the Guangxi province for genotype 6e; the USA for genotype 1a; and Southern Vietnam for genotypes 1a and 6e. The human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection rate among HCV-infected injection drug users was 52.6-55.4% and did not differ significantly by HCV genotype. Most drug users infected with HIV-1 [98.8% (171/173)] were co-infected with HCV. These results suggest multiple routes of HCV transmission among injection drug users in Northern Vietnam that may also be HIV transmission routes. © 2010 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
