Sepsis after non‐perforated acute appendicitis

Abstract

Key Clinical Message Appendicitis is a worm‐like appendage whose base is located on the posterior side of the inner cecum. Acute appendicitis is uncommon in children younger than 5 years old. The patient was a 1.5‐year‐old boy who was admitted to the hospital with a primary complaint of fever, diarrhea, and vomiting. A pathological report of acute puffiness appendicitis with peri appendicitis was confirmed. After two weeks of treatment, the patient was discharged with an good general condition.

Diagnosis of B‐cell lymphoma from gluteal muscle mass

“…It seems that an aberrant lymph node in the skeletal muscle can lead to primary skeletal muscle lymphoma, while it is not detected histologically at the time of diagnosis . Skeletal muscle lymphoma generally arises in the extremities, especially lower limbs and in the thigh, since these extremities are most exposed to injuries . Skeletal muscle lymphoma can occur after limb trauma, adjacent to injection sites and in the rectum of homosexual men.…”

Biomarker of urinary 5-HIAA as a valuable predictor of acute appendicitis

“…Furthermore, it can also be walled off [ 5 ] and generalized peritonitis can occur if the body fails to encounter the infection [ [6] , [7] ]. In cases of appendix perforation, several potentially life-threatening complications such as sepsis, bacterial peritonitis [ 8 , 9 ], small intestinal obstruction and abdominal abscess formation may occur [ 10 , 11 ]. Advanced bacterial peritonitis can be caused by untreated perforated appendicitis and has a mortality rate of 80–100% [ 12 , 13 ].…”
