RESUMEN Describimos el caso poco frecuente de una paciente con una sepsis por Vibrio Cholerae no 0-1 asociado a lesiones cutáneas en extremidades inferiores y superiores. Esta paciente padecía de una hepatopatía crónica y un carcinoma de cérvix en estadío IIIB y había sido ingresada el día previo por una descompensación ascítica. Su evolución fue buena con resolución completa mediante cefotaxima endovenosa. Destacar sobre todo el hallazgo de su origen epidemiológico, aguas continentales de pozos naturales, siendo esta particularidad la que hace de este caso el primero descrito en España con ese origen demostrado y un caso excepcional en la literatura mundial revisada.
5-Fluorouracil-induced gastro-intestinal toxicity predominantly affects the upper and the lower gastro-intestinal tract. Although 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) can cause severe small-bowel toxicity, this has been reported only in 6 patients with colon carcinoma receiving 5-FU-based therapy. The presentation was extensive ulceration and inflammation of the small bowel with no involvement of the colon. We report another case of this toxicity, and discuss the diagnosis and mechanisms by which 5-FU can induce small-bowel toxicity.
