Abstract

Background : Dental procedures can cause several serious complications such as cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema, which can be fatal if not diagnosed quickly; especially in children, this is a rare case. Most of cases of cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema present with symptoms similar to angioedema in cases of allergies, leading to misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. This case is unique because cervicofacial subcutaneous emphysema occurred before invasive dental procedures, which consisted of cleaning using a water spray. Case was taken from pediatric patient who came to the Emergency Room (ER) presented with a chief complaint swelling in the left eye area, spread to the left cheek and neck. Oxygen therapy, pain relievers, antihistamines, and antibiotics eliminate symptoms within 4 days without complications. Diagnosis carried out quickly and precisely followed by appropriate treatment results in good and complete recovery rates.

Abstract

Background: Entamoeba coli is a commensal protozoan that lives in the human intestinal lumen (nonpathogenic protozoan). There have been no reports of severe Entamoeba coli-related infections in patients with good nutritional andimmune status. The natural phagocytic properties of Entamoeba coli are are contributed to severe infections with rare complications, including septic shock. Diagnosis is generally established by microscopic stool analysis; positive resultsindicate the presence of Entamoeba coli cysts. Case: A 65-year-old female patient with symptoms of colitis, namely abdominal pain, abdominal cramps accompanied by diarrhea 4 hours before coming to the emergency room, the frequencyof diarrhea 6 times per day with watery, greenish yellow stool, accompanied by mucus. Physical examination showed signs indicating septic shock with positive microscopic stool analysis results for Entamoeba coli. Initial management in theform of broad-spectrum antibiotics plus the amebicidal agent metronidazole and comprehensive management of septicshock provided good outcomes in patient without complications. Conclusions: Although categorized as a nonpathogenic protozoan, the phagocytic ability of Entamoeba coli can trigger a severe systemic inflammatory response, including sepsis.High clinical vigilance is required to detect Entamoeba coli in stool examinations, as well as to ensure early diagnosis and appropriate management to prevent serious systemic complications.
