World Journal of Gastroenterology, 08/17/09
Kume K et al. – A 78–year–old man with a 12–h history of near syncope and painless hematochezia was admitted to hospital. Following the transfusion of 4 U of blood and continued hematochezia, a colonoscopy was performed. Active bleeding was seen as continuous arterial spurting from a single diverticulum located in the middle ascending colon. This diverticulum was seamed by four endoclips. The next day, the patient became febrile with a temperature of 39.2degreesC. Laboratory data included a white blood cell count of 18 100/mm3 and a C–reactive protein level of 3.4 mg/dL. He was diagnosed with sepsis since Escherichia coli was detected in the blood culture.
