Early detection of COVID-19 cholangiopathy using cholangioscopy-a case report of two critically ill patients.
Background: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) crisis caused by the severe respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) rapidly led to a pandemic. While the majority of SARS-CoV-2-infected patients present with fever and respiratory symptoms, gastrointestinal symptoms may also occur. In addition, serious hepatic manifestations like cholangiopathy and liver failure have been described.
Patients and methods: We identified two critically ill patients suffering from SARS-CoV‑2 infection in our intensive care unit (ICU). In both patients, laboratory testing revealed elevated liver chemistries weeks after initial diagnosis with COVID-19.
Results: During repeated endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP) with cholangioscopy, a severely destructed biliary mucosa with ischemia and epithelial roughness was seen in both patients. Due to the prolonged course of COVID-19 and chronic liver damage with ongoing sepsis, both patients succumbed to the disease.
Conclusion: In our opinion, a COVID-19 infection can lead to development of cholangiopathy in critically ill patients. Cholangioscopy performed early can confirm the diagnosis of COVID-19-associated cholangioscopy.
期刊介绍:
The journal European Surgery – Acta Chirurgica Austriaca focuses on general surgery, endocrine surgery, thoracic surgery, heart and vascular surgery. Special features include new surgical and endoscopic techniques such as minimally invasive surgery, robot surgery, and advances in surgery-related biotechnology and surgical oncology.
The journal especially addresses benign and malignant esophageal diseases, i.e. achalasia, gastroesophageal reflux disease, Barrett’s esophagus, and esophageal adenocarcinoma. In keeping with modern healthcare requirements, the journal’s scope includes inter- and multidisciplinary disease management (diagnosis, therapy and surveillance).
