Shigella species cause bacillary dysentery in humans by invasion, intracellular multiplication, spread to adjacent cells, and induction of brisk inflammatory responses in the intestinal epithelium. In vitro data suggest that lactoferrin, a glycoprotein present in human mucosal secretions, has a role
Strains of hemolytic E. coli are implicated in edema disease and enteritis of swine. Immunological experiments were conducted to determine the specific role played by hemolytic E. coli in the etiology of these diseases. When cell-free extracts prepared from a frequently isolated E. coli -
A case of nephrotic syndrome associated with bilateral hydronephrosis in a 26-year-old female is reported. She was referred to our hospital because of persistent diarrhea, abdominal pain, and urinary disorders. On admission, ascites, intestinal edema, and bilateral hydronephrosis, were demonstrated
We evaluated 4 cases of lupus enteritis by US, abdominal X-ray and CT. On US examinations, in particular, we observed ascites and edematous thickening of the small intestine where Kerckring folds with submucosal edema resembled an accordion. After steroid treatment and consequent improvement of the
Two patients are presented with upper airway obstruction associated with regional enteritis (Crohn's disease). Two mechanisms for this obstruction are proposed. The first is involvement of the cricoarytenoid joint with the inflammatory process and the second is extensive edema of the upper airway
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is a procedure used to restore the intestinal microbiota of a diseased individual using indigenous intestinal microorganisms from a healthy donor. The current case report presents the first case of a 13-month-old male with severe pseudomembranous enteritis
OBJECTIVE
Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) enteritis is a frequent gastrointestinal complication following hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT). The diagnosis of GVHD enteritis was made if apoptotic bodies in crypt epithelium were observed in a biopsy specimen(s). However, there is no
The small bowel is the least common site of involvement in the gastrointestinal tract for cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection. CMV enteritis results in a high rate of emergency surgery for bleeding, perforation, or ileus and a high mortality rate. We report on successful medical treatment for a case of
BACKGROUND
Video capsule endoscopy is in widespread use as a diagnostic modality. Although capsule endoscopy is generally considered safe, several prior reports have documented capsules' failure to progress through narrowed areas of intestine. Symptomatic retention and obstruction by capsule
Thirty-three patients have been investigated in Townsville between 1983 and 1987 with eosinophilic enteritis. All were Caucasian and had been well prior to this illness. Twenty-six had similar presentations with episodic and transient abdominal pain often with features of small bowel obstruction.
We report a case of fatal congenital cytomegalovirus (CMV) disease in a 695 gm, 29 weeks estimated gestational age premature infant. The newborn presented with hydrops fetalis, an unusual presentation of congenital CMV infection. In spite of ganciclovir therapy, the infant succumbed to his illness.
1. Dogs develop severe gastrointestinal symptoms in response to intraintestinal administration of staphylococcal enterotoxin. These symptoms are salivation, vomiting, and diarrhea. 2. Staphylococcal enterotoxin induces acute enteritis marked by edema, hyperemia, round cell infiltration, mucosal
We report a patient with chronic hepatitis C who developed eosinophilic enteritis while being treated with recombinant interferon alpha-2b. He had no history of either allergic disorders or recurring episodes of abdominal cramps, nausea, or diarrhea. He also had had a normal eosinophil count prior
