“…Antimicrobial therapy should be tailored to FNA culture speciation and sensitivities; however, empiric treatment with antibiotics active against the most common pathogens in infected pancreatic necrosis (E. coli, Bacteroides species, Enterobacter species, Klebsiella species and S. faecalis as well as other grampositive organisms such as S. epidermidis and S. aureus 103,104 ) may be considered until final culture results are available.…”

“…The most common bacteria cultured in an infected pseudocyst are enteric microorganisms, such as E. coli, Bacteroides species, Enterobacter species, Klebsiella species and S. faecalis as well as other grampositive organisms, such as S. epidermidis and S. aureus. 103,104 General indications for intervention are symptomatic pseudocysts, complications or infection of a pseudocyst, or increasing size on serial imaging. [125][126][127][128] Many options are available for the management of pancreatic pseudocysts, including percutaneous, endoscopic or surgical drainage (open and laparoscopic) and creation of a cystogastrostomy (endoscopically or surgicallly).…”

“…Contrary to several other studies [7,10] ultrasound was used for diagnosis and guidance for drainage in our case. We believe that in the majority of cases, ultrasound can clearly provide the optimal depiction of abscesses, the potential insertion route for drainage, and the optimal position of catheters without risk of exposition to irradiation.…”

“…It is more common in postoperative pancreatitis (40%) than in alcoholic (4%) or biliary (7%) causes. The abscess develops due to superinfection of necrotic pancreatic and retroperitoneal tissues due to superinfection of acute fluid collections [9,10]. Several reports have shown that open surgery and immediate surgical necrosectomy for pancreatic necrosis could result in a poor clinical outcome, frequently associated with reoperations and development of complications such as infected pancreatic collections and fistulas [3,4,5].…”

“…It is worth stressing that in selected patients, percutaneous drainage is only one of the stages of treatment (2,(16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). During the past years constant progress in the diagnostic and procedural techniques has been observed.…”
