Cefoperazone and sulbactam-related eosinophilic peritonitis: a case report and literature review.

ABSTRACT: Eosinophilic peritonitis (EP) is a well-described complication of peritoneal dialysis that occurs because of an overreaction to constituents that are related to the catheter or tubing, peritoneal dialysate, pathogenic infection, or intraperitoneal drug use. EP caused by antibiotic use is rare. We present the case of a patient with cefoperazone and sulbactam-related EP. A 59-year-old woman who was undergoing peritoneal dialysis presented with peritonitis with abdominal pain and turbid peritoneal dialysis. Empiric intraperitoneal cefazolin in combination with cefoperazone and sulbactam was started after peritoneal dialysis effluent cultures were performed. Her peritonitis achieved remission in 2 days with the help of cephalosporin, but she developed EP 1 week later, when her dialysate eosinophil count peaked at 49% of the total dialysate white blood cells (absolute count, 110/mm³). We excluded other possible causes and speculated that cefoperazone and sulbactam was the probable cause of EP. The patient continued treatment with cefoperazone and sulbactam for 14 days. EP resolved within 48 hours after stopping cefoperazone and sulbactam. Thus, EP can be caused by cefoperazone and sulbactam use. Physicians should be able to distinguish antibiotic-related EP from refractory peritonitis to avoid technique failure.

Eosinophilic peritonitis with colon cancer: a case report.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Eosinophilic gastrointestinal disorders (EGIDs) are a rare group of inflammatory disorders that can occur anywhere along the gastrointestinal tract, from the esophagus to the rectum. In particular, those with malignant or benign tumors are extremely rare. CASE PRESENTATION:A 62-year-old man was referred to our hospital with a chief complaint of abdominal fullness. The peripheral white blood cell count was 19,400/µL, and the eosinophil count was 13,300/µL. Abdominal computed tomography showed massive ascites. Cytology of the ascitic fluid showed a large amount of eosinophils and no malignancy. Upper and lower gastrointestinal endoscopies were performed on the suspicion of EGIDs, and colon cancer with no other abnormalities was found. The biopsies of the cancer lesions and non-cancer lesions also showed significant differences in eosinophil counts per high-power field (HPF) between the cancer and non-cancer lesions (median 77.5 [IQR 52-115] vs. 40.5 [35-56]/HPF, P?<?0.05). Exploratory laparoscopy showed cloudy massive ascites and thickening of the mesentery. Pathological examination of the mesentery showed a large amount of eosinophils (median 177.5 [IQR 91-227]/HPF) and no malignancy. Based on these findings, it was suspected that the massive ascites due to eosinophilic peritonitis could be associated with colon cancer. Steroid administration resulted in immediate disappearance of the ascites, and laparoscopic left hemicolectomy was safely performed 6 weeks after steroid administration. CONCLUSION:This report presented a case of eosinophilic peritonitis that could be related to colon cancer. Exploratory laparoscopy was useful to detect the cause of ascites. The possibility that eosinophilic peritonitis was associated with colon cancer is discussed based on the histopathological findings.

The Diagnostic Challenge of Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis Presenting as Acute Eosinophilic Myocarditis: Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is a systemic vasculitis involving small-to-medium-sized vessels characterized by asthma, vasculitis, and peripheral eosinophilia. EGPA-associated eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) occurs rarely, yet can be fatal if left untreated. Moreover, the accurate diagnosis of EGPA-associated EM without vasculitis is exceptionally difficult because of the overlapping features with EM of other causes. We report a case of probable EGPA with subclinical neurological involvement that presented with acute EM. The constellation of peripheral eosinophilia, left ventricular dysfunction, and normal epicardial coronary arteries raised suspicion of acute EM, which was confirmed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) investigation and endomyocardial biopsy (EMB). Prompt systemic administration of corticosteroids completely restored and normalized myocardial structure and function. Although the patient's history suggested the presumed hypersensitivity myocarditis, EMB revealed EM without vasculitis, not hypersensitivity, leading to a tentative diagnosis of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome. Interestingly, the characteristic findings of vasculitis on CMR imaging strongly suggested EGPA-associated EM. Although the patient had no clinical neurological manifestations, a nerve conduction study confirmed mononeuritis multiplex, leading to the final diagnosis of probable EGPA. Therefore, this case highlights the diagnostic challenge associated with EGPA and the diagnostic synergy of CMR and EMB for an exploratory diagnosis of EGPA-associated EM.

Multiple Distinctive Demyelinating Lesions Caused by Eosinophilic Granulomatosis With Polyangiitis: Case Report and Literature Review.

Project description:Eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) is an extremely rare rheumatic immune disease characterized by vasculitis of small- and medium-sized blood vessels. Central nervous system (CNS) involvement frequently consists of cerebrovascular disease; a manifestation with multiple demyelinating lesions has never been reported in detail. This report describes a 38-year-old man, who presented with progressive memory deterioration and underwent microsurgery; EGPA was subsequently confirmed. Unique clinical and radiological features as well as immunohistological outcomes and DNA sequencing revealed a potential disease-associated human leukocyte antigen (HLA) type, and single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are described for this uncommon case. Although EGPA rarely involves the CNS, this differential diagnosis should be considered when patients present with a history of nasosinusitis, elevated eosinophil percentage, clinical pulmonitis, and neurological manifestations. Microsurgery is necessary for precise diagnosis and effective treatment.

In Vitro Antimicrobial Activity of Various Cefoperazone/Sulbactam Products.

Project description:: This study aims to assess the in vitro activity of different samples of cefoperazone/sulbactam (CFP/SUL) against multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs). Clinical isolates of extended-spectrum ?-lactamase (ESBL)-Escherichia coli, ESBL-Klebsiella pneumoniae, carbapenem-resistant Acinetobacter baumannii (CR-AB), and carbapenem-resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa (CR-PA) were collected. The minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and time-killing methods were used to assess and compare the in vitro activities of different samples of cefoperazone/sulbactam (CFP/SUL) against these MDROs. For ESBL-E. coli, ESBL-K. pneumoniae, and CR-PA, product C had smaller variations than product A and B (p < 0.05). For CR-AB, product B had the largest variation compared to the other two products (p < 0.05). In the time-killing studies, significant differences among the products when used at 16/16 µg/mL were noted for ESBL-E. coli, ESBL-K. pneumoniae, and CR-AB isolates. In conclusion, this study demonstrated the significantly different activity of different products of CFP/SUL against MDROs.

Eosinophilic variant of eccrine porocarcinoma of the scalp: Case report and review of the literature.

Project description:Porocarcinoma is a rare malignant neoplasm of the acrosyringium with metastatic potential that most commonly presents on the acral skin in older adults (mean age = 72 years). We present the case of a 43-year-old woman who developed a rapidly growing de novo porocarcinoma on the scalp with an unusual oncocytic appearance. The tumor consisted of benign eccrine poroma that arose from the epidermis and broad pushing borders with minimal cytological atypia but ample eosinophilic cytoplasm with numerous mitotic figures. Although some tumors may appear deceptively bland, the histologic recognition of pushing/infiltrative borders and mitotic figures are helpful to make the appropriate diagnosis of carcinoma. This lesion was treated with Mohs micrographic surgery and the patient remained free of recurrence after more than 2 years. It is important to recognize the eosinophilic variants of eccrine porocarcinoma because it can histologically mimic a squamous cell carcinoma.

Immunoglobulin G4-related periodontitis: case report and review of the literature.

Project description:BackgroundImmunoglobulin G4-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a chronic inflammatory systemic disease of unknown etiology that can affect one or multiple organs. The disease can mimic many infectious and inflammatory diseases, mainly causing organ enlargement or hyperplasia. Its diagnosis primarily relies on clinical, serologic, and histological features (lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates, storiform fibrosis, and obliterative phlebitis of IgG4 + plasma cells). Here, we report a rare case of IgG4-related periodontitis, and review the relevant literatures.Case presentationA 38-year-old Chinese man visited the Department of Periodontics with gingival enlargement, loose teeth, and tooth loss. The patient had very poor oral hygiene and a large amount of calculus. Gingivae were edematous with deep periodontal pockets and attachment loss. Panoramic radiography showed alveolar bone loss. Serologic examination showed that IgG was 23.70 g/L and IgG4 concentration was 2.800 g/L. There was significant lymphoplasmacytic infiltration, a storiform pattern of fibrosis, and mitotic figures with hematoxylin and eosin staining; immunohistochemical staining showed 10 scattered IgG4-positive plasma cells in a high-power field. The patient was diagnosed as IgG4-related periodontitis. He received a course of corticosteroids with periodontal therapy, and the enlargement was significantly improved without recurrence.ConclusionIgG4-RD in the oral and maxillofacial region mainly involves salivary glands, but this rare case was characterized by enlarged gingivae. The differential diagnosis of IgG4-RD should be based on the clinical features and serologic (IgG4) and histopathological examinations. Corticosteroid therapy is effective for most IgG4-RD patients. Taken together, we hope this case report and the literature review can help dentists to improve their understanding of the IgG4-RD.

Project description:BackgroundLoss-of-function mutations in the CLCN2 gene were recently discovered to be a cause of a type of leukodystrophy named CLCN2-related leukoencephalopathy (CC2L), which is characterized by intramyelinic edema. Herein, we report a novel mutation in CLCN2 in an individual with leukodystrophy.Case presentationA 38-year-old woman presented with mild hand tremor, scanning speech, nystagmus, cerebellar ataxia in the upper limbs, memory decline, tinnitus, and dizziness. An ophthalmologic examination indicated macular atrophy, pigment epithelium atrophy and choroidal capillary atrophy. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed the diffuse white matter involvement of specific white matter tracts. Decreased diffusion anisotropy was detected in various brain regions of the patient. Diffusion tensor tractography (DTT) showed obviously thinner tracts of interest than in the controls, with a decreased fiber number (FN), increased radial diffusivity (RD) and unchanged axial diffusivity (AD). A novel homozygous c.2257C > T (p.Arg753Ter) mutation in exon 20 of the CLCN2 gene was identified.ConclusionCC2L is a rare condition characterized by diffuse edema involving specific fiber tracts that pass through the brainstem. The distinct MRI patterns could be a strong indication for CLCN2 gene analysis. The findings of our study may facilitate the understanding of the pathophysiology and clinical symptoms of this disease.
