Abstract

Tuberculous peritonitis (TB peritonitis) is one of the most challenging forms of extrapulmonary TB to diagnose. While tumor markers can be elevated in patients with TB peritonitis, FDG-PET/CT can aid in distinguishing TB peritonitis from malignancies, if an apron-like omentum pattern is seen. Laparoscopy is crucial for accurate and early diagnosis.

Abstract

Objective: The risk of embolization to distal territory or to new territory in mechanical thrombectomy remains a major issue despite advancements in technological device. This condition can be caused by a large and firm dropped thrombus without passing through a guiding catheter during stent retriever or aspiration catheter withdrawal. This report introduced a novel technique referred to as retrograde angiography to detect dropped thrombus. Methods: The retrograde angiography to detect dropped thrombus technique is a kind of retrograde angiography that consists of a contrast medium injection via a distal microcatheter and aspiration through an inflated balloon-guiding catheter. This method was used to detect dropped thrombus at the balloon-guiding catheter tip when back flow was blocked from the balloon-guiding catheter after stent retriever or aspiration catheter withdrawal. We retrospectively reviewed four consecutive patients who underwent the retrograde angiography to detect dropped thrombus technique during mechanical thrombectomy for acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion in the anterior circulation between January 2018 and January 2021. Results: Three of four patients had dropped thrombus, which was diagnosed with the technique and retrieved completely with subsequent procedures while maintaining the balloon-guiding catheter inflated. None of the patients experienced embolization to distal territory/embolization to new territory, and a successful reperfusion was achieved in all four cases. Conclusions: The retrograde angiography to detect dropped thrombus is a technique to detect a dropped thrombus at the balloon-guiding catheter tip and allows us to retrieve it with subsequent mechanical thrombectomy procedures while maintaining the balloon-guiding catheter inflated and it may be useful for reducing the risk of embolization to distal territory/embolization to new territory.

48. A case of amebic colitis and liver abscesses that occurred after treatment of coronavirus disease 2019 with dexamethasone.

Abstract

Entamoeba histolytica infections, which can be asymptomatic, are endemic to developing countries; traveling to such countries is a risk factor for contracting these infections. A 65-year-old Japanese man was hospitalized for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-associated respiratory distress, and was treated with remdesivir, dexamethasone, and oxygen supplementation. Although his respiratory condition improved and the oxygen support was discontinued, he developed a fever, severe abdominal pain, and diarrhea on day 13 of hospitalization. Fifteen years ago, he was hospitalized for diarrhea of an unknown origin in Suzhou, China, and had a history of passing loose stools for 1 year. Contrast-enhanced abdominal and pelvic computed tomography revealed liver abscesses in both lobes and intestinal edema from the ascending colon to the descending colon. The abscesses were suspected to be amebic based on the characteristics of the drained abscess fluid. The patient was treated with cefotaxime and metronidazole, and his temperature declined and abdominal pain improved. A culture analysis of abscess fluid yielded negative findings; however, polymerase chain reaction analyses of abscess and stool samples were positive for Entamoeba histolytica. We speculated that the patient was infected with Entamoeba histolytica while in China, and that the corticosteroid usage for COVID-19 had exacerbated the infection. Clinicians should be aware that corticosteroid treatments can lead to recurrent invasive amebiasis in asymptomatic amebic carriers., Competing Interests: None., (© 2022 The Authors.)
