OBJECTIVE
Microscopic colitis includes lymphocytic colitis and collagenous colitis. The entity is considered as an important cause for unknown chronic diarrhea, but rarely reported in China before. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of microscopic colitis in patients with chronic diarrhea
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this retrospective survey is to determine the frequency of collagenous colitis among patients who presented with chronic diarrhea to our gastroenterology outpatient clinic and to evaluate the demographic, clinical and laboratory findings of these patients and the treatment
BACKGROUND
Lymphocytic colitis and microscopic enteritis are relatively common causes of chronic diarrhea and it is characterized by an intraepithelial lymphocytic infiltrate. There have been no previous reports of coexistence between these 2 pathologies.
OBJECTIVE
To describe histological and
Herpetic infections of the gastrointestinal tract are a well-recognized entity. Involvement of the colon seems to be very rare. A 78-yr-old woman developed bloody diarrhea and abdominal discomfort 2 months after surgical treatment for adenocarcinoma of the transverse colon. Colonoscopy revealed
Ulcerative colitis (UC) belongs to inflammatory bowel disorders, a group of gastrointestinal disorders that can produce serious recurring diarrhea in affected patients. The mechanism for UC- and inflammatory bowel disorder-associated diarrhea is not well understood. The cystic fibrosis
Chronic diarrhea is a common clinical problem. To determine the possible causes in North India, we studied prospectively 71 patients with chronic diarrhea of the large bowel type. A definite diagnosis could be established in 70 patients. Ulcerative colitis was found in 18 patients, colorectal
A 37-year-old man with ulcerative colitis was admitted to the hospital because of abdominal cramping, diarrhea, hematochezia, fever to a peak temperature of 38.8 °C, and drenching night sweats. Several weeks earlier, he had performed home fecal transplantation.
In human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected adults from the Central African Republic, the occurrence of chronic diarrhea due to HEp-2 adherent Escherichia coli (EAEC) harboring virulence markers (eaeA, BFP, EAF, astA determinant of EAST/1, positive FAS test, enteropathogenic E. coli O serogroup)
OBJECTIVE
To study differences in the visceral sensitivity of the colonic mucosa between patients with diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS-D) and those with ulcerative colitis (UC) in remission and to relate these differences with changes in the 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HT) signaling
Leptin plays not only an important role in regulation of food intake, but also in the mechanism of inflammation. The universal presence of leptin in the cells of immune system and its secretion by these cells caused increasing interest in the role of this hormone in ulcerative colitis (UC). We
Mesalamine has been used as the first-line therapy for the treatment of ulcerative colitis (UC) because of its efficacy and fewer side effects. However, earlier study showed that mesalamine occasionally causes diarrhea. We are presenting a patient with active UC in whom bloody diarrhea accompanied
There are various etiologies of colonic injury and inflammation. The most commonly described colitides in clinical practice are associated with infection, inflammatory bowel disease, ischemia, radiation and medications. The colonic wall has a limited set of responses to different types of injury;
Nine patients (seven females, two males) with chronic watery diarrhea and nonspecific colonic mucosal inflammation followed for 1-5 yr are presented. Eight were diagnosed as having collagenous colitis on the basis of marked thickening of the subepithelial collagen layer in at least one set of
Clostridium difficile has been implicated as the major cause of antimicrobial associated colitis or diarrhea. C. difficile was found in stools from 21 of 120 healthy subjects. C. difficile was found in stools from 8 of 9 patients with antimicrobial associated pseudomembranous colitis and in stools
The genetic relationships among 1,300 isolates of Escherichia coli representing 16 serotypes associated with enteric disease, including O157:H7 strains recovered from patients with hemorrhagic colitis and hemolytic uremic syndrome and O26:H11, O55:H6, O55:H7, O111:H2, and O128:H2 strains, many of
