Intraperitoneal streptokinase use-associated eosinophilic peritonitis

Sclerosing encapsulating peritonitis associated with recurrent eosinophilic peritonitis.

Eosinophilic myositis Associated with Sarcocystis in Sheep

Role of Intraperitoneal Antibiotic Lavage in Peritonitis

Although mortality and morbidity associated with generalized peritonitis has been brought down markedly, postoperative complications like wound sepsis, intra-abdomlnal collections, paralytic ileus and septicemia do occur in some cases. To minimize such complications different measures have been tried so far, including intraperitoneal lavage with saline solutions and antibiotics. We conducted a ...

Eosinophilic "empyema" associated with crack cocaine use.

Smoking of crystalline cocaine, known as "crack" cocaine, has been associated with eosinophilic pneumonitis, but not with pleural effusions. We describe a patient with eosinophilic pneumonitis with an eosinophilic "empyema" after using "crack" cocaine. The illness resolved with corticosteroids. We hypothesised that his effusion would have increased levels of eosinophil cytokines that promote oe...

Intermittent versus Continuous Intraperitoneal Glycopeptide/Ceftazidime Treatment in Children with Peritoneal Dialysis-Associated Peritonitis

Intermittent intraperitoneal antibiotic administration appears as a practical and economical therapeutic concept in continuous peritoneal dialysis (CPD)-related peritonitis, but the equivalence of this principle with standard continuous treatment awaits confirmation by prospective, randomized clinical trials. This study evaluates the efficacy, safety, and clinical acceptance of an initial combi...
