Abstract

Intra-abdominal and pelvic abscesses occur in 10-30 per cent of patients with Crohn's disease. The aim of this study was to establish the clinical characteristics and outcome of patients admitted over a 4-year period with an abdominal or pelvic abscess secondary to Crohn's disease. Patients with Crohn's disease-related intra-abdominal or pelvic abscess were identified from a prospectively collected database, comprising all admissions between 1991 and 1994. Medical records were reviewed retrospectively and data gathered regarding management and outcome. Thirty-six patients were identified with Crohn's disease-related abscess, of whom 15 were considered for initial percutaneous drainage. Drainage was technically possible in eight of these patients: it failed in four, gave good long-term results in two, and was followed by recurrence after 3 years in one and by later surgery unrelated to the abscess in one. Twenty-eight patients underwent surgery, with only four requiring a stoma. Complications occurred in 12 patients. At 3 months, 22 of the 36 patients were in remission. Crohn's intra-abdominal abscesses are associated with a high morbidity rate. Selected cases can be drained percutaneously, without adding to the morbidity, and s...Continue Reading

CRISPR & Staphylococcus

CRISPR-Cas system enables the editing of genes to create or correct mutations. Staphylococci are associated with life-threatening infections in hospitals, as well as the community. Here is the latest research on how CRISPR-Cas system can be used for treatment of Staphylococcal infections.
