Serum voriconazole levels following administration via percutaneous jejunostomy tube.
Candida glabrata causes approximately 5 to 15% of nonalbicans Candida infections (2). Amphotericin B or high doses of fluconazole have been the “gold standard” for management of all systemic yeast infections (2, 5, 9). Voriconazole, a new triazole antifungal drug, has lower MICs than fluconazole and itraconazole for C. glabrata (1, 4, 5). We describe a case in which a patient with infection due...

متن کاملSafe technique for direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy tube placement using single-balloon enteroscopy with fluoroscopy.
Direct percutaneous endoscopic jejunostomy (DPEJ) is a useful method for the delivery of nutrition in patients with a variety of gastrointestinal (GI) problems [1–3]. However, DPEJ using standard colonoscopes or the push technique remains a technically challenging procedure, with success rates of about 68% in expert hands [2]. Herein, we present the key steps to conducting a successful DPEJ usi...
متن کاملThe Role of Percutaneous Endoscopic Transgastric Jejunostomy in the Management of Enteral Tube Feeding
Feeding-related adverse events after percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy (PEG) such as aspiration pneumonia can impede the use of PEG. Percutaneous endoscopic transgastric jejunostomy (PEG-J) using large-bore jejunal tubes with gastric decompression function may improve outcomes by circumventing gastric passage during enteral nutrition and improving drainage of excessive gastric secretions. Thi...
