Ultrasound findings of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome (FHCS) associated with splenic tuberculosis in an HIV-positive male patient.

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis (FHCS) is characterized by an inflammation of the hepatic capsule concomitant or following pelvic infection due to or . It is a rare condition occurring most often in a woman of childbearing age and very rare in male patients. Splenic involvement is also a rare form of abdominal tuberculosis.

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome with disseminated intra-abdominal gonorrhoea.

Neisseria gonorrhoea continues to be implicated in a large proportion of sexually transmitted infections worldwide. Prompt recognition of infection is required to prevent further complications which include pelvic inflammatory disease and less commonly, perihepatitis which is known eponymously as Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome. Third generation cephalosporins such as ceftriaxone remain effective in the treatment of gonococcal infection, however failure in initiation of appropriate antibiotic therapy in a timely manner can result in further disseminated disease.

Perihepatitis as an Initial Manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.

A 25-year-old man presented with a fever and right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Computed tomography (CT) of the abdomen revealed diffuse perihepatic capsular enhancement, suggesting perihepatitis. Although the patient was a man, Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome was suspected based on the CT findings.

Mpox proctitis as a likely predisposing factor for chlamydial perihepatitis in a male patient.

Perihepatitis (Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome) is a rare complication of sexually transmitted infections, mostly seen in women. Only 12 male cases have been reported to date, of which was confirmed in 2. We report a case of chlamydial perihepatitis in a male patient, occurring 1 month after Mpox and associated with the unusual LGV ST23 strain.

A case of malignant peritoneal mesothelioma with a Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome-like imaging finding.

Malignant peritoneal mesothelioma (MPeM) is a rare disease with a poor prognosis that develops in the mesothelial cells of the peritoneum. We encountered a 48-year-old man with no prior asbestos exposure who visited our hospital with abdominal pain. Laboratory findings showed elevated C-reactive protein of 15.

An evaluation of Composite Reference Standard (CRS) for diagnosis of Female Genital Tuberculosis.

Background: Female genital tuberculosis (FGTB) is a common cause of infertility in developing countries. Its diagnosis is difficult due to its paucibacillary nature, with no single test having high sensitivity and specificity. This study is to share the experience of using Composite Reference Standard (CRS) for the diagnosis of FGTB.

Ultrasound Killed the Pelvic Examination: Over-reliance on Ultrasound Resulted in Delayed Diagnosis of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome and Potential Loss of Fertility in a Young Female Patient.

We describe a case of multiple missed opportunities to diagnose Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome in a sexually active 26-year-old woman in the emergency department (ED). Repeat ultrasound scans showed a hemorrhagic ovarian cyst. Multiple ED providers relied exclusively on these ultrasound findings as the presumed cause of her pelvic pain, to the detriment of their physical examination.

Asociación de síndrome de Fitz-Hugh-Curtis en fase crónica y quiste mesotelial simple en un hombre adulto. Presentación de un caso.

Objective: Presentation of a case little reported in the literature of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome regarding gender and its association with simple intra-abdominal mesothelial cyst.

Method: A bibliographic source was compiled regarding the unusual presentation of the syndrome in males and its association with the simple mesothelial cyst.

Results: The affectation in men is infrequent, with only 10 reported cases.

A Rare Case of Small Bowel Obstruction in a Patient with Endosalpingiosis, Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome, and Pelvic Inflammatory Disease.

A 19-year-old female has multiple presentations to emergency department with recurrent abdominal pain. During her third presentation, the radiological features were suggestive of high-grade small bowel obstruction in a virgin abdomen. A diagnostic laparoscopy has been performed.

A Diagnosis Not to Miss: A Case of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome.

Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome is a rare disease attributed to complications of pelvic inflammatory disease secondary to chlamydia or gonorrhea infections. Patients generally complain of vague abdominal pain that is often acute in onset, with or without genitourinary complaints. We present a case of Fitz-Hugh-Curtis syndrome with a young female who presents with a complaint of right upper quadrant abdominal pain for 2 months' duration.

A case of Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome mimicking an acute abdomen.

Fitz Hugh Curtis syndrome, also known as acute perihepatitis, associates pelvic inflammatory disease with the presence of or as the main causative pathogens. Symptomatology is a nonspecific one. Right upper quadrant pain, fever, nausea and vomiting are the most commonly encountered symptoms.

Small Bowel Obstruction and Appendicitis in Patient With Fitz-Hughes-Curtis Syndrome.

Fitz-Hughs-Curtis syndrome is a manifestation of pelvic inflammatory disease (PID) which begins with sexually transmitted organisms such as () and, less commonly . The infection is hypothesized to disseminate into the peritoneum via lymphatic, hematogenous, or ascending spread of the organisms. Progression of the disease can result in liver capsule inflammation (perihepatitis) and adhesion formation between organs.

F-FDG PET-CT in Fitz-Hugh-Curtis Syndrome.

Positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) has demonstrated its usefulness in evaluating nonspecific abdominal and inflammatory symptoms. We report a case of young woman with chronic right upper quadrant abdominal pain. Fluorine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose PET-CT showed subhepatic hypermetabolism.
