VALDES CASTANEDA, Alberto et al. Multiple abscesses in the thorax and abdomen by Streptococcus anginosus: case report and literature review. Cir. gen [online]. 2022, vol.44, n.2, pp.73-76. Epub 13-Oct-2023. ISSN 1405-0099. https://doi.org/10.35366/109715.
Introduction:
intra-abdominal abscesses present themselves mainly secondary to surgical intervention of an infectious site, such as an appendectomy, perforations, or trauma surgery.
Case report:
we present a case report of an intra-abdominal abscess in a male adult after laparoscopic gastric bypass.
Results:
days after laparoscopic intervention, a patient attends medical service with signs of infection, abscesses were found in abdomen and thorax. Streptococcus anginosus was identified as agent and treated successfully.
Conclusions:
new agents have been identified as infectious sources for abscess formation, with specific pathways of dissemination, Streptococcus anginosus should be suspected.
