Possible Causes for Endotoxic Shock

Acute Peritonitis

 Gram negative  endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides)  TNF Endotoxic shock  Tissue perfusion  These organisms are present in the lower GI tract and do respond to Penicillins [slideshare.net]

Complications:  Systemic complications:  Bacterimic or endotoxic shock  SIRS  MODS  Abdominal Complications:  Paralytic ileus  Residual/recurrent abscess/ Inflammatory [slideshare.net]

Shigella Enteritis

LPS may cause endotoxic shock when the enteric bacilli enter the bloodstream (septic shock). [de.slideshare.net]

Endotoxic shock is characterized by blood pools forming in the microcirculation resulting in hypotension. [de.slideshare.net]

Gram-Negative Septicaemia

Septic shock (also known as gram-negative sepsis or endotoxic shock) is fast becoming a major health care problem among hospitalized patients. [www2.hawaii.edu]

Acute Pyelonephritis

Subcapsular renal hematoma (SRH) is an extremely rare complication of acute pyelonephritis (APN). We report a case of SRH complicating APN with a ureteral stone, together with a review of the literature. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ureterolithiasis

BACKGROUND: Recent studies suggest that alpha-blockade with tamsulosin may be useful in the treatment of ureterolithiasis by increasing the success of, and decreasing the time to, stone passage. OBJECTIVES: We sought to determine stone passage success rates in patients diagnosed with ureterolithiasis and[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Pneumococcal Pneumonia

We describe a case of bacteremic, leukopenic pneumococcal pneumonia with respiratory failure, accompanied by diabetic ketoacidosis and hypothermia. Pulmonary leukostasis may play a role in the pathogenesis of the acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) in pneumococcal pneumonia. The patient recovered with[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Gram-Negative Pneumonia

BACKGROUND: Diagnosis of ventilator associated pneumonia can be made by quantitative cultures of bronchoalveolar lavage fluid or of protected specimen brushings, though cultures require 24-48 hours to provide results. In 80% of cases aerobic Gram negative bacteria are the cause. METHODS: A rapid diagnostic[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Ascending Cholangitis

Abstract An intussusception-type antireflux valve was created in the Roux-en-Y loop in 23 infants with biliary atresia (17 new cases, and six others after episodes of ascending cholangitis) and 10 patients with congenital bile duct dilatation, in order to prevent ascending cholangitis after hepatic portojejunostomy.[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Abdominal Visceral Abscess

Abstract This review describes the microbiology, diagnosis, and management of intra-abdominal abscesses (including subphrenic, hepatic, splenic, and retroperitoneal abscesses) in children. They often occur as a complication of local or generalized peritonitis, commonly secondary to appendicitis, necrotizing enterocolitis,[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Agranulocytosis

Background: Nonchemotherapy drug–induced agranulocytosis is a rare adverse reaction that is characterized by a decrease in peripheral neutrophil count to less than 0.5 × 10 9 cells/L due to immunologic or cytotoxic mechanisms. Purpose: To systematically review case reports of drugs that are definitely or[…] [doi.org]

Drug-induced Neutropenia

Drug-induced neutropenia is a potentially life-threatening complication that may be seen after the use of numerous drugs, including antipsychotics, antibiotics, antithyroid agents, but most importantly, chemotherapeutic drugs. Depending on the severity of neutropenia, patients are at a risk for developing various[…] [symptoma.com]

Hodgkin Lymphoma

The endobronchial localization of Hodgkin's disease is a rare entity which is often confused with endobronchial tuberculosis in our setting. We report the case of a 16 years old female who presented with 6 months history of dry cough, hemoptysis, dyspnea, dysphagia and dysphonia. The chest radiography showed a[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Perinephric Abscess

A perinephric abscess in an adolescent, initially mistaken for a renal tumor, was managed conservatively with antibiotic therapy alone. Computed tomography revealed that resolution was complete, eliminating the need for surgical drainage. The case suggests the wisdom of altering traditional diagnostic and therapeutic[…] [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
