  • Beschreibung: Portal vein thrombosis (PVT) is a rare disease with an incidence of 0.7/100,000 inhabitants per year. Septic PVT (pylephlebitis) usually occurs secondary to infection in the anatomic region drained by the portal venous system. We report on a 76-year-old German male who was admitted with a history of recurrent fever and acute renal failure. Blood cultures taken on admission showed Escherichia coli, as well as Bacteroides uniformis after an extended incubation period of 90 h. In addition, infection with Leptospira spp. was diagnosed serologically. Computerized tomography of the abdomen revealed an extensive PVT along with signs of colonic diverticulitis. Symptoms resolved under prolonged antimicrobial therapy with beta-lactams and adequate heparinization. A myeloproliferative disorder could be excluded. There was no evidence of an underlying coagulation disorder. Imaging controls showed an almost complete resolution of the PVT after 6 months of anticoagulation therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of such an “unhappy triad,” which includes atypical manifestations of leptospirosis and involvement of other intestinal bacteria.
