EPS is associated with severe complications, including bowel obstruction and sepsis, which can significantly impact patient outcomes. The first case involves a 41-year-old male patient who had undergone a liver transplant and ultimately succumbed to extensively drug-resistant (XDR) sepsis.

Article Synopsis
- A case study highlights a rare infection caused by an endemic mycoplasma after a hysterectomy in a 29-year-old woman with cervical cancer, leading to complications like peritonitis and bowel obstruction.
- The patient's symptoms included fever, ascites, and paralytic ileus, but traditional cultures failed to identify the pathogen.
- Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) testing ultimately detected the mycoplasma, allowing for effective treatment with levofloxacin and leading to the resolution of both the infection and bowel obstruction.

A 9-year-old, neutered male, domestic short-haired cat was referred for recurrent ascites of unknown etiology over a week. Physical examination revealed abdominal distension and ultrasonography revealed a large volume of ascites throughout the abdominal cavity; this was interpreted as modified transudate. The mesentery and abdominal fat were hyperechoic and edematous.
