Transmission of Infection by Flexible Gastrointestinal Endoscopy and Bronchoscopy

“…Other infectious complications after colonoscopy and sigmoidoscopy include acute appendicitis (261-267), bacterial peritonitis (268,269), endocarditis (270)(271)(272)(273), and septicemia (274)(275)(276)(277). Two cases of Listeria monocytogenes meningitis and septicemia (278,279) and one case of Fournier's gangrene of the perineum have been described (280).…”

Risque infectieux lié à l’endoscopie digestive

“…Il était de 0 % et 1 % dans deux études [26,27]. Cependant, des cas d'endocardites et de septicémie étaient aussi associés à cet examen [28][29][30][31]. Concernant l'examen au rectoscope rigide, la bactériémie varie de 0 à 12 % selon les études [23].…”

Pyogenic Liver Abscess Presenting after Malignant Polypectomy

“…However, there are very few well-described cases where colonoscopy was I. G. Harnik ( ) The Mount Sinai Hospital, Department of Medicine e-mail: Ian.Harnik@mssm.edu thought to induce PLA [1,2], and as such liver abscess is generally not recognized as a complication of colonoscopy. Furthermore, Low et al [3] conducted a prospective assessment of the rate of bacteremia during lower endoscopy and found that there was no additional risk of bacteremia or clinical sepsis when polypectomy was performed during colonoscopy, versus surveillance colonoscopy.…”
