Hemorragia Digestiva Alta Recorrente por Pseudo-Aneurisma da Artéria Gastroduodenal

Os autores apresentam o caso clínico de um homem de 39 anos de idade com antecedentes de pancreatite crónica, que apresenta um quadro de hemorragia digestiva alta recorrente, com repercussão hemodinâmica, endoscopias altas sucessivas sem alterações, e cujos exames imagiológicos revelam presença de mal-formação vascular do tronco celíaco. Na sequência de mais um episódio de hemorragia digestiva alta com franca repercussão hemodinâmica, é internado no Serviço de Medicina,realizando arteriografia selectiva que mostrou a presença de pseudo-aneurisma da artéria gastroduodenal. Após a embolização, verificou-se uma progressiva e mantida melhoria da sua situação clínica. Descrevem os autores um quadro de hemorragia digestiva alta recorrente por malformação arterial associada à pancreatite crónica.

Pseudo-outbreak of Clostridium difficile associated diarrhea (CDAD) in a tertiary-care hospital

The objective of this study was to describe a pseudo-outbreak of C. difficile in a hospital, following a change in the method used to detect the toxin. In February 2002, there were two cases of CDAD and in March 7 occurred, coinciding with a change of the test (from detection of toxin A to toxin A/B). An outbreak was suspected. Active surveillance and education of staff were started. A CDAD case was defined as a patient with acute onset of diarrhea (³ three episodes of liquid stools) and a positive stool test. They were classified as hospital or community-acquired. Stool samples were also collected for C. difficile culture and isolates were typed using AP-PCR. From March 2002 through December 2003 there were 138 cases of CDAD: 70% were hospital-acquired and among the 30% with CDAD present on admission, most (81%) came directly from the community (50% had no history of hospitalization). Fifty-two percent of hospital-acquired CDAD and 94% of cases on admission had already used antibiotics. The incidence of CDAD in hospitalized patients during surveillance was 3.3 per 1000 patient-admissions. The incidence of CDAD present on admission was 6.1/1000 patients. Sixteen isolates were typed and presented 13 different profiles. In conclusion, the CDAD increase in our study occurred due to change in diagnostic methods and not due to an outbreak, as suspected initially. The incidence in hospitalized patients was much lower than in reported outbreaks. There were 13 molecular types suggesting that an outbreak did not occur. CDAD was largely community-acquired.

Pseudo-Kaposi's Sarcoma Because of Suction-Socket Lower Limb Prosthesis

Pseudo-Kaposi sarcoma is a benign reactive vascular proliferation mainly involving the lower legs, which can be related to acquired chronic venous insufficiency or congenital arteriovenous malformations. In its most common presentation, acroangiodermatitis is seen in patients with chronic venous insufficiency of the lower limbs as an exaggeration of the stasis dermatitis. However, rare reports of acroangiodermatitis include descriptions in amputees (especially in those with poorly fitting suction-type devices), in patients undergoing hemodialysis (with lesions developing distally to arteriovenous shunts) and in patients with paralyzed legs. We report on a 28 year-old-male who presented pseudo-Kaposi's sarcoma in an amputation stump because of suction-socket lower limb prosthesis.

Bone marrow fibrosis (pseudo-myelofibrosis) in human kala-azar

Thirty cases of human kala-azar were diagnosed by iliac crest biopsy and myeloculture. Histological analysis of 12 patients showed diffuse thickening of reticulin fibers. To the best of our knowledge, this is the third report describing secondary bone marrow fibrosis (myelofibrosis-like) associated with kala-azar. Patients with positive bone marrow fibrosis (pbmf = 12) were compared to patients without detectable bone marrow fibrosis (wbmf = 18). There were no significant differences in clinical and blood parameters following treatment. All patients showed regression of hepatosplenomegaly.Our findings suggest that associated bone marrow fibrosis is transient and did not interfere in the evolution of treated patients.

Pseudo-myocardial infarction during an episode of herpes zoster

The patient arrived at the emergency unit with a history of acute myocardial infarction, for which she was treated. Without improvement in the pain, the patient developed heart failure and underwent a hemodynamic study, which showed normal coronary arteries and extensive ventricular impairment. During evolution, the clinical findings improved and herpes zoster appeared on the right shoulder. In a few months the clinical findings subsided, and the findings of the electrocardiogram, chest X-ray, and ventricular function were normal. The patient is currently asymptomatic.

Pseudo-aneurisma femoral micótico após onze anos de cateterismo

Relatamos o caso incomum de um alpinista de 52 anos que apresentava dor e edema em sua coxa direita, o que revelou ser um pseudoaneurisma micótico roto, sem histórico de trauma recente ou outra causa aparente. O paciente relatou uma história de infarto do miocárdio onze anos antes, com a realização de dois cateterismos femorais para cineangiocoronariografia. Ele negou qualquer episódio de febre ou diagnóstico de bacteremia naquele momento ou mais tarde, como também outra queixa durante esses onze anos. A raridade do caso, a aparência dessa complicação extremamente tardia, juntamente com o tipo de atividade esportiva do paciente sugeriram-nos publicar o caso.

Pseudo-aneurisma do ventrículo esquerdo

A ruptura da parede livre do ventrículo esquerdo é uma dramática, porém nem sempre fatal complicação do infarto agudo do miocárdio. No entanto, se o diagnóstico correto for retardado, o tratamento cirúrgico pode ser comprometido. Os autores relatam um caso de volumoso pseudo-aneurisma de parede inferior de ventrículo esquerdo diagnosticado ao estudo angiográfico.
