A 20-month-old infant had bile peritonitis from spontaneous complete avulsion of the distal common bile duct. The patient had recovered from extensive neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis that included the duodenum. We believe that this late unusual biliary catastrophe was a consequence of the neonatal necrotizing enterocolitis.
In a prospective study of 70 patients undergoing therapeutic endoscopy, the incidence of bacteremia was established. It was observed in 20 after bougienage, 30% after the placement of an endoprosthesis, 15% after endoscopic sphincterotomy, and 25% after percutaneous biliary drainage. Although clinical symptoms were observed in only a few of these patients, perioperative antibiotic therapy is recommended in elderly patients with malignant diseases, diabetes mellitus, renal insufficiency or liver disorders.
