Trajectories of Lymphocyte Counts in the Early Phase of Acute Pancreatitis Are Associated With Infected Pancreatic Necrosis

Patients with acute pancreatitis (AP) often suffer tough complications, some of which are fatal. The early diagnosis and definite treatment of central nervous system (CNS) complications have not been fully achieved yet, which seriously affects the mortality of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP). We present a case of infected pancreatic necrosis (IPN) in a 62-year Chinese man who developed acute herpes simplex encephalitis (HSE) caused by herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) after favorable minimally invasive retroperitoneal approaches (MIRAs). The patient was successfully treated with 115 days stayed in our hospital. The MIRAs included image-guided retroperitoneal percutaneous catheter drainage (PCD), nephroscopic pancreatic necrosectomy (NPN), and ultrasonic pneumatic lithotripsy system (UPLS) assisted non-narcotic sinus track necrosectomy (NSN). HSE is relatively rare and potentially life threatening. We attempt to discuss the probable risk factors and how the relatively rare HSE are related to the patients of SAP with latent HSV.

Summary. Introduction. The search for objective methods for diagnosing the form and severity of acute pancreatitis, accurate prediction and timely prevention of infectious complications in this surgical pathology is of great practical importance for modern medicine. Materials and methods. According to clinical, morphological and bacteriological data, groups of patients were selected. The first group included 33 patients with sterile pancreatic necrosis (SP), the second group consisted of 29 patients with infected pancreatic necrosis (IP). Results and discussion. The program of differential diagnosis of sterile and infected pancreatic necrosis with calculation of the index of differential diagnosis (IDD) for each clinical-laboratory and instrumental indicator used in this system is developed. The development and evaluation of diagnostic possibilities of the method of verification of purulent-septic complications of acute pancreatitis and the transition of a sterile form of pancreatic necrosis to an infected one was carried out. Conclusions. The use of the developed method of diagnosis of sterile and infected pancreatic necrosis with the calculation of the index of differential diagnosis allowed in 93% of cases to distinguish sterile pancreatic necrosis from infected and timely determine the scope and tactics of treatment.

Pancreatic Necrosectomy

Abstract Emphysematous pancreatitis (EP) is a rare and severe complication of acute pancreatitis carrying a high mortality with only a handful of case reports and small studies reporting these cases and their management. The presence of emphysematous pancreatitis is often indicative of infected pancreatic necrosis with the mainstay of treatment being pancreatic necrosectomy; however there are cases where it may be appropriate to have a trial of conservative management, and there is a small body of evidence to support this. This paper describes a case of an 87-year-old male with acute emphysematous pancreatitis successfully managed with conservative cares.
