Abstract

The results of studies on bacteremia incidence following endoscopic exploration are controversial. We aimed to investigate bacteremia incidence following urgent endoscopic exploration and sclerotherapy for varices. Methods: Sixty two patients with upper gastrointestinal bleeding, 40 of whom had non variceal bleeding and 22 of whom had variceal bleeding and were admitted to the intensive care unit, were included in the study. All patients had endoscopic exploration and sclerotherapy during the first 24 hours of bleeding. Patients who had used antibiotics during the previous seven days or who were treated with sclerotherapy for non-variceal bleeding were not included in to the study. Blood cultures were taken before and at the 30th minute after exploration. Results: None of the patients had pre-endoscopic bacteremia but two (4.5%) patients had positive blood cultures after urgent endoscopic exploration and two (9.09%) after sclerotherapy. No significant difference was found between the groups according to bacteremia incidence (p>0,05).Conclusions: Our results suggest that transient bacteremia may ensue urgent diagnostic or therapeotic endoscopic procedures. Its incidence following urgent endoscopic sclerotherapy is no different from other endoscopic procedures and it is not considered to carry a high risk of infection or require antibiotic prophylaxis except in high risk groups.

Özet

Endoskopik girişim sonrası bakteriyemi insidansı konusunda yapılan çalışmalardan elde edilen sonuçlar tartışmalıdır. Bu prospektif çalışmada acil tanısal endoskopi ve varis skleroterapisi yapılan hastalarda bakteriyemi sıklığını belirlemeyi amaçladık. Yöntem: Tümü yoğun bakım ünitesinde yatan 40'ı varis dışı kanama ve 22 varis kanama tanısı olan toplam 62 üst gastrointestinal sistem kanamalı hasta çalışmaya alındı. Tüm hastalara hastaneye geldikleri ilk 24 saat içinde tanısal endoskopi ve varis skleroterapisi yapıldı. Varis dışı skleroterapi yapılanlar ile son 7 gün içinde antibiotik kullanan hastalar çalışmaya alınmadı. Hastalardan işlemden hemen önce ve 30 dakika sonra kan kültürü alındı. Bulgular: Hiç bir hastada preendoskopik bakteriyemi saptanmazken, tanısal acil endoskopi yapılan olguların 2 (%4.5)'sinde, acil varis skleroterapisi yapılan olguların ise 2 (%9.09) sinde işlem sonrası kültürlerde üreme gözlendi. Bakteriyemi açısından iki grup arasında fark saptanmadı (p>0.05). Sonuç: Sonuçlarımız diagnostik veya terapötik acil endoskopik girişimleri takiben geçici bakteriyemi oluşabileceğini göstermiştir. Acil endoskopik skleroterapiyi takiben gelişen bakteriyemi insidansı diğer endoskopik işlemlerden farklı değildir. Acil endoskopik skleroterapi enfeksiyon açısından güvenilir olup yüksek riskli gruplar dışında antibiotik kullanımı gerektirmemektedir.
