OBJECTIVE
Determine the treatment of the acalculous acute cholecystitis during the course of typhoid fever in children.
METHODS
It was carried out a retrospective study in 10 patients with acalculous cholecystitis in the course of typhoid fever, from June 1992 to May 1997, in the Children's
We report a case of Q fever-related antiphospholipid syndrome in a patient presenting with acalculous cholecystitis and pneumonia. Serial laboratory tests indicated that the previous serological tests suggesting hepatitis C virus and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infections were false-positives. The
Each year, 1-4 % of people with known gallstones become symptomatic, either presenting with biliary colic or as acute cholecystitis. The distinction between both diagnoses remains challenging. To aid the proper diagnosis, the revised 2013 Tokyo Guidelines (TG 2013) were proposed with a
Fever is a very common complication that has been related to poor outcomes after aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH). The incidence of acalculous cholecystitis is reportedly 0.5%-5% in critically ill patients, and cerebrovascular disease is a risk factor for acute cholecystitis OBJECTIVE
To determine the frequency of fever and leukocytosis in patients presenting to the emergency department with acute cholecystitis (AC).
METHODS
We carried out a retrospective review of charts from 1990 to 1993 at a university-affiliated hospital. Our subjects were ED patients with
We report here a patient with acute Q fever-related acalculous cholecystitis, who presented with prolonged fever, valvular abnormalities, and positive serology for Q fever phase 1 antigens, features suggesting chronic Q fever endocarditis. The pathogenesis of this rare presentation of Q fever is
Dengue Fever (DF) with acute acalculous cholecystitis is a rare and atypical presentation. We report a case of dengue fever presenting as acute acalculous cholecystitis. The patient presented with abdominal pain, vomiting and fever. Her platelet counts were low and Dengue antibody test was positive.
The problems of chronic infection, pertaining to typhoid fever, with main complication as an acute and chronic cholecystitis, were addressed. The main method of chronic cholecystitis treatment, pertaining to typhoid fever, is cholecystectomy with consequent speciphic treatment using various routes
Atypical manifestations of dengue fever (DF) and dengue haemorrhagic fever (DHF) involving different organs are being increasingly recognised, especially in the dengue endemic areas. We report an atypical presentation of DF in a 22 year old lady presenting with fever and acute pain in the right
Classically dengue fever presents as fever with myalgia. A patient of dengue fever presented with classical symptoms and signs of acute acalculous cholecystitis. Serology and ultrasound examination identified dengue as the aetiology. Patient was treated successfully by conservative measures.
Surgical complications of typhoid fever usually involve the small gut, but infrequently typhoid fever also involves the gallbladder. Complications range from acalculous cholecystitis, gangrene to perforation. Here, we present a case of enteric fever with concomitant complication of multiple ileal
A case of typhoidal acalculous cholecystitis is described in a 31-year-old Indian man, who was admitted with 4-day fever, abdominal pain, diarrhea and vomiting. On examination, he looked ill, but was conscious and febrile with icteric sclera. The right upper quadrant of the abdomen was tender.
A 29-year-old pregnant woman presented with fever, right hypochondrial pain and fatigability at 29 weeks of gestation. Dengue hemorrhagic fever was diagnosed based on clinical, hematological and serological features. However, ultrasound scanning was suggestive of acute acalculous cholecystitis. The
Acalculous cholecystitis has been described in association with Q fever. We describe the first known case of Q fever cholecystitis diagnosed by polymerase chain reaction on gallbladder tissue. The presence of Coxiella burnetii genome in the diseased gallbladder tissue argues for direct involvement
