Abstract

We present herein a case with a four-day history of fresh rectal bleeding due to leech bite. The cause was found to be a leech in the rectum by anoscope. This pathological condition is extremely rare in urban areas. Leech endoparasitism, although rare, may cause serious, even lethal, complications. Suspicion of leech infestation should be kept in mind when faced with intermittent or severe rectal bleeding in humans, and should be investigated surgically as with all other foreign bodies. In the current study, we present a patient who admitted with rectal bleeding due to leech bite. The leech was removed by hand examination (by forceps) without requiring any surgical attempt.

Özet

Bu yazıda, sülük ısırığına bağlı oluşan dört günlük taze rektal kanamalı olgu sunuldu. Kanamının nedeni anoskopla rektumda olduğu saptanan sülüktü. Bu patolojik durum şehir alanlarında oldukça azdır. Sülük endoparasitizmi az olmasına rağmen, ciddi ve hatta ölümcül komplikasyonlara neden olmaktadır. İnsanlarda aralıklı veya ciddi rektal kanama ile karşılaştığında sülük infestasyon şüphesi akılda tutulmalıdır ve diğer tüm yabancı cisimlerde olduğu gibi cerrahi olarak incelenmelidir. Burada sülük ısırığına bağlı rektal kanama ile başvuran bir hastayı sunduk. Sülük, herhangi bir cerrahi girişim yapılmaksızın el değerlendirmesi ile (forseps ile) çıkarıldı.
