• W4387642767 abstract "Background and Objectives: Alveolar echinococcosis (AE) is a highly variable disease able to present as structurally diverse cysts in different organs based on the host’s immunological state as well as the time between diagnosis and the primary infection. Bacterial superinfections, especially with anaerobic pathogens from the Clostridiaceae genus, can further alter the radiological findings due to pneumobilia, newly formed abscess formations, and inflammatory changes. Materials and Methods: We present a case of a 71-year-old Caucasian male admitted to our intensive care unit with septic shock, pneumobilia, and a complex cyst of the liver with calcification, as shown by an initial CT. Because of the septic shock, the patient was started on broad-band antibiotics. Clostridiaceae infection was considered an important differential diagnosis due to the presence of pneumobilia observed in the initial CT, without a history of previous endoscopy. Furthermore, serology for echinococcus was positive, and blood cultures showed growth of C. perfringens. Therefore, the patient was additionally treated with albendazole. After recovery, further staging was conducted, showing complete remission of the cyst and a left-over lesion classified as Alveolar Echinococcosis Ulm Classification (AEUC) V. In summary, the patient had a pre-existing, controlled AE infection that became superinfected with C. perfringens, likely attributable to the anaerobic necrotic tissue, leading to septicemia. Results: The anaerobic tissue within the AE cyst provided an ideal medium for C. perfringens to replicate, leading to cyst infection, which subsequently caused septic shock and pneumobilia. The initial findings from CT and MRI were confounded by the superinfection, demonstrating the diagnostic challenges of AE, especially when presenting with complications. Conclusions: Diagnosing AE remains a demanding task, even with the excellent tools available through serology, coupled with CT, FDG-PET-CT, and MRI. Notably, older superinfected cysts can pose difficulties when integrated into the appropriate diagnostic context. Prompt diagnosis is critical for the accurate treatment of echinococcosis and its complications, such as bacterial superinfections. From a clinical perspective, septicemia from Clostridiaceae and infections with C. perfringens—pathogens capable of inducing pneumobilia—should be regarded as significant differential diagnoses for pneumobilia in the absence of a recent history of endoscopy." @default.
