Summary

Our hypothesis is that a single dose of antibiotics at time of EUS-guided pancreatic cyst aspiration is equally effective to the usual regimen of 3 days of post-procedural antibiotics.

Eligibility Criteria

Inclusion Criteria

  • Patients between the age of 18-90 who present for an EUS / pancreas cyst evaluation

Exclusion Criteria

  • Patients outside the age range
  • Patient-related factors (unable to provide consent, unable to understand English, allergic to cipro)
  • High-risk patients for infective endocarditis
  • Bacterial infection or use of antibiotics within 6 weeks of EUS
  • Pancreatitis within the past 6 months
  • Underlying immunosuppression (for example, uncontrolled diabetes - such as hemoglobin A1c above 7 or glucose > 180; renal failure; cirrhosis; pre-existing malignancy especially hematologic malignancy such as leukemia / lymphoma / multiple myeloma; HIV/AIDS)
  • Currently taking immunosuppressive medications (for conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel disease, organ transplant)
  • Radiographic or endosonographic evidence of cyst cavity debris / necrotic debris
  • Severe systemic disease (for example, NYHA class III or IV heart failure, oxygen-dependent COPD)
