Bilateral perinephric abscesses: a complication of endoscopic injection sclerotherapy.
    The American journal of gastroenterology, 1987, Volume: 82, Issue:7

    Ten years after right hepatic lobectomy for primary hepatocellular cancer, a 45-yr-old black woman presented with bleeding esophageal varices. After five endoscopic injection sclerotherapy procedures using sodium morrhuate, she developed fever and elevated white blood count. Reendoscopy, chest x-ray, and upper gastrointestinal contrast x-rays showed no local complication. Urine analysis was normal, but CT scans, renal sonograms, and white blood cell radionuclide scan demonstrated bilateral perinephric abscesses. Percutaneous abscess drainage grew Streptococcus pneumoniae, normally found in the nasopharyngeal flora, which was probably a result of hematogenous spread. The perinephric abscesses were successfully treated with percutaneous drainage and antibiotics. Renal infection should be considered as a possible locus of distant blood-borne infection in patients who develop fever after endoscopic injection sclerotherapy.
