Acute Kidney Injury with Hemolysis after Glycerin Enema-induced Rectal Injury in a Patient with Type 2 Diabetes

Blindness in Right Eyes after Enema: A Case of Klebsiella pneumoniae-Related Invasive Liver Abscess Syndrome with Endophthalmitis-Caused Blindness as the First Symptom

We report a case of Klebsiella pneumoniae invasive liver abscess syndrome (KPILAS) with endophthalmitis-caused blindness as the first symptom after enema. The patient had diabetes, and his blood glucose was poorly controlled. She developed hematuria after four enemas for cosmetic purposes and later became blind. The eye discharge was cultured, which revealed a Klebsiella pneumoniae infection. B ultrasound did not show liver lesions, but computed tomography exhibited abscesses in the right lobe of the liver. Magnetic resonance imaging of the head indicated abscesses. These confirmed the diagnosis of invasive liver abscess syndrome. The patient was given ophthalmic and systemic anti-infection treatments, and her condition was effectively controlled. Unfortunately, the diseased eye still needed to be removed. This case underlines the necessity of avoiding unnecessary risky procedures (such as enemas) in vulnerable populations, the importance of early detection of invasive liver abscess syndrome, and the advantage of computed tomography in detecting liver abscesses.

Effects of Different Intervention Methods on Intestinal Cleanliness in Children Undergoing Colonoscopy

Objective

To explore the effects of different intervention methods on intestinal cleanliness in children undergoing colonoscopy.

Methods

61 children who underwent colonoscopy in our hospital from May 2020 to May 2021 were randomly divided into group A (n = 21), group B (n = 30), and group C (n = 10). The children in the three groups were intervened in different ways before the colonoscopy. Group A received a long-handled Kaiselu +1 cathartic intervention, while group B received a long-handled Kaiselu +2 cathartic intervention, and group C received an enema plus one cathartic intervention. The patients in the three groups were given the same diet before the examination until the examination was completed. The time-related indexes, cleanliness, adverse reactions, tolerance, and adaptability of the three groups under different dietary interventions and cleaning methods were evaluated.

Results

The first defecation time in group C was lower than that in group A and group B, the hospital stay was longer than that in group A and group B (p > 0.05), and the colonoscopy time in group C was shorter than that in group A and group B (p < 0.05). The BBPS score of group C was (2.10 ± 0.32), which was significantly higher than that of group A (1.16 ± 0.19) and group B (1.77 ± 0.18) (p < 0.05). The BBPS scores of children with liquid food in the three groups were significantly higher than those of common food, and the BBPS scores of liquid food and common food in group C were significantly higher than those in group A and group B (p < 0.05). The incidence of adverse reactions in group C was 20.00%, which was significantly lower than 33.33% in group A and 23.33% in group B (p < 0.05). The proportion of grade I in group C was 50.00%, which was significantly higher than 38.10% in group A and 43.33% in group B (p < 0.05).

Conclusion

Children undergoing colonoscopy take preintestinal preparation under different diets and intervention methods. The cleanliness of liquid food and enema + one-time laxative one day before colonoscopy is the best, which can significantly reduce adverse reactions and increase the acceptability and adaptability of children. It is worthy of clinical application.
