This case report describes a 37-year-old woman who develops an intraparenchymal hepatic haematoma after an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography with papillotomy and stone extraction. The procedure requires the passage of a guidewire. The patient develops acute abdominal pain 72 hours later and ...
UNLABELLED: The incidence rate of invasive infections due to Candida species has increased drastically in the last 20 years, causing a 40...
The recovery of an unusual organism in the clinical microbiology laboratory may be an indicator of an immunological abnormality in the patient. For instance, an important relationship between Clostridium septicum and colon carcinoma as well as between leukemia or lymphoma with species frequently consider...
