“…Colonoscopy is a widely used diagnostic and therapeutic procedure in gastrointestinal tract disease and is only rarely associated with transient septicemia (6). We report a case of septicemia after colonoscopy caused by L. monocytogenes in a patient with ulcerative colitis who was receiving corticosteroids and azathioprine.…”

Goals: To present retrospective data on esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) findings of patients who were admitted to a training and research hospital due to upper gastrointestinal system problems.Background: EGD is an interventional method used for diagnosing diseases of the esophagus, stomach, and duodenum. EGD is essential in the diagnosis of various benign and malign upper gastrointestinal diseases, as well as for therapy or disease follow-up.

“…Transient bacteraemia has been reported at high rates, but the frequency of endocarditis or other clinical infections is extremely low [18][19][20]. Antibiotic prophylactic regimens are only recommended for specific interventions and should be strictly followed: suspected incomplete biliary drainage, puncture of fluid collections or cysts, percutaneous endoscopic feeding tube placement, and cirrhotic patients with upper GI bleeding [21].…”

Keywords:GI endoscopy adverse events GI emergencies Bleeding Haemorrhage Perforation Infection Embolization Diagnosis and management of severe complications a b s t r a c t Endoscopy adverse events (AEs), or complications, are a rising concern on the quality of endoscopic care, given the technical advances and the crescent complexity of therapeutic procedures, over the entire gastrointestinal and bilio-pancreatic tract. In a small percentage, not established, there can be real emergency conditions, as perforation, severe bleeding, embolization or infection. Distinct variables interfere in its occurrence, although, the awareness of the operator for their potential, early recognition, and local organized facilities for immediate handling, makes all the difference in the subsequent outcome. This review outlines general AEs' frequencies, important predisposing factors and putative prophylactic measures for specific procedures (from conventional endoscopy to endoscopic cholangio-pancreatography and ultrasonography), with comprehensive approaches to the management of emergent bleeding and perforation.
