Liver abscesses are very rare complications of ulcerative colitis, and furthermore, there has been only one case of splenic abscess in a patient with ulcerative colitis reported in the English literature. We recently encountered a patient with ulcerative colitis accompanied by both hepatic and splenic abscesses. The patient was treated with abscess drainage as well as sulfasalazine and antibiot...

The inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is sometimes complicated by the development of a psoas abscess. We recently encountered three patients of IBD with psoas abscess. Two patients had Crohn's ileocolitis and one with ulcerative colitis. During 1979-1984, 23 patients with psoas abscess due to a variety of underlying disease processes were seen at our institution. At the same time period, 483 cas...

Liver abscesses are very rare complications of ulcerative colitis, with only nine cases described in the literature, to our knowledge. We report a case where a recurrence of liver abscess occurred in an ulcerative colitis patient, in two different hepatic lobes, which has not been previously described. The recurrence was in the caudate lobe having the cultures yielded Staphylococcus aureus. Thi...

Summary Abscess formation in the anorectal region is a relatively common occurrence and contributes to a fair number of emergency surgical operations. In this paper the etiology of anorectal abscess is reviewed and an interesting case is presented. In about 20% of cases there many be obvious local cause such as infected fissure, thrombosed pile, trauma following local injection therapy, etc. I...

Peritonsillar abscess is a common deep throat infection. Early diagnosis and prompt, appropriate management of a peritonsillar abscess prevents mortality. A 45-year-old woman on steroids for an ulcerative colitis (UC) exacerbation presented with sore throat and multiple skin ulcers on her left forearm and right foot. Computed tomography of the neck revealed a peritonsillar abscess. Gram stainin...

Pyoderma gangrenosum is an uncommon, destructive, cutaneous ulceration which presents as ulcerative, pustular, bulluous and vegetative forms, the ulcerative forms being more common. We present the case of 41-year-old woman with Crohn's disease who presented with a rather unusual form of pyoderma gangrenosum, aseptic cutaneous abscess. It was initially misdiagnosed as a fistulous tract in the ab...

Ulcerative colitis (UC) is a clinical form of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) presumed to have an autoimmune etiology. The coexistence of UC and aseptic subcutaneous abscess has been extremely rare and almost all are adult case reports or small series and very few pediatric cases have been reported. We describe a 15-year-old girl with UC complicated with concomitant aseptic subcutaneous absces...

Cutaneous involvement is an unusual complication in brucellosis that has been reported to range between 0.4% and 17%. We here introduce a 40-year-old shepherd, who presented with two ulcerative abscesses in his lower left leg. Cultivation of the abscess aspirate was positive for Brucella abortus. The first titer of his serological test was 1/160, which subsequently rose to 1/640. In countries l...
