Se reporta el caso de un varón de 62 años quien presentó tos y dolor abdominal por dos semanas, con hallazgos tomográficos pulmonares compatibles con probable infección por SARS-CoV-2, que recibió tempranamente corticoterapia a dosis altas y de manera ambulatoria. El paciente presentó evolución tórpida, fue hospitalizado y falleció en el posoperatorio inmediato por un cuadro de abdomen agudo quirúrgico. El estudio anatomopatológico mostró estructuras parasitarias con características compatibles con amebas, como causa de una colitis aguda fulminante complicada, con perforación múltiple y peritonitis aguda. La colitis aguda fulminante por amebiasis intestinal en el contexto de un paciente con probable COVID-19 no había sido reportada en el Perú. Resulta importante resaltar la presentación fulminante con desenlace fatal de esta infección parasitaria prevalente en nuestro...

Presentamos un caso raro de comunicación ventrículo izquierdo-aurícula derecha (defecto tipo Gerbode) asociado a traumatismo torácico cerrado, que incluye los hallazgos ecocardiográficos e intraoperatorios. El paciente fue operado exitosamente. Ocasionalmente, se encuentra las comunicaciones ventrículo izquierdo-aurícula derecha adquiridas en la población adulta que pueden suceder como resultado de endocarditis o en el reemplazo de la válvula aórtica.

Tuberculosis is highly prevalent and is still currently the leading cause of adrenal insufficiency in many areas of the world. Clinically this disease remains asymptomatic during early stages, but due to adrenal function loss symptoms become insidious and gradual, mostly unspecific. We report two cases of female patients with clinical symptoms of chronic bilateral primary adrenal insufficiency with active tuberculosis infection by histopathology.

We report a case of ovarian hydatic cyst, of rare presentation, without evidence of systemic hydatidosis in a 29 year-old woman with one previous delivery and an abortion, admitted to the Gynecology Service with the diagnosis of right adnexal tumor. A unilocular cyst was removed by laparotomy and the diagnosis was ovarian hydatidic cyst by pathological examination. We describe the clinical, ultrasound and histologic characteristics.

Objective: To use both kidneys of an elderly donor in the same receptor and remark the importance of kidney histology as selector method. Materials and Methods: We evaluate the selection and surveillance of 11 patients who received double kidney of cadaver elderly donors. The ten donors’ mean serum creatinine was 1,3 mg/dL, and the mean age was 63 years old (range 56 to 73 years), the receptor’s mean age 53 years. Both kidneys were examined by frozen wedge biopsy. Quantification of damaged tissue was based on defined methodology. Kidneys with moderate microscopic lesions (score 4 to 6/12) were selected for double kidney transplantation. These were implanted extraperitoneally into each iliac fossa with both separate iliac external vessels and bladder-ureters anastomosis. Steroids and mycophenolat-mophetil represented the first line immunosupresor scheme. Results: None of the receptors...
