Postpartum periarticular hip abscess with later coxitis caused by group B streptococcus.

Intrapartum haematogenous spread of vaginal group B Streptococcus is rare, but it can lead to severe complications like abscesses, endocarditis and meningitis postpartum. We report a postpartum periarticular hip abscess caused by group B Streptococcus. Clinically it caused pain in the hip and a compression of the femoral nerve with motor and sensory component. Diagnosis was made by aspiration under computed tomography control. The only sign of infection was an increased sedimentation rate. After antibiotic treatment the symptoms disappeared and the abscess vanished, but it was reactivated 4 months after delivery, leading to arthritis of the hip joint. Another antibiotic treatment was administered for 8 weeks. 17 months postpartum the patient is well, but a development of a secondary coxarthrosis can not be excluded.

Colonic diverticula. When complications require surgery and when they don't.

The value of a high-fiber diet in preventing and treating colonic diverticula is firmly established. Although the diagnosis of diverticulosis is usually made with colonoscopy or barium enema examination, computed tomography has become the test of choice during acute diverticulitis, when the diagnosis cannot be confidently made clinically. Recently developed surgical principles for diverticulitis include radiographically directed drainage with delayed operation for peridiverticular abscess, resection of the site of disease in patients with general peritonitis, and primary anastomosis in most cases requiring urgent intervention. Diverticulosis accompanied by abdominal pain or irregular bowel habits is by itself rarely an indication for surgery. Diverticular bleeding usually resolves spontaneously, but persistent bleeding can usually be successfully treated with segmental colectomy after localization of the bleeding site with colonoscopy or arteriography.
