Infection with cytomegalovirus (CMV) in infants can be congenital or perinatal. Infected infants may be asymptomatic or present with pneumonia, rash, hepatosplenomegaly, or encephalitis.1 In the presence of an immunodeficiency, severe and sometimes fatal disease may occur. To our knowledge, CMV has
The effect of human colostrum in the prevention of diarrhea and necrotizing enterocolitis, as well as the advantages of its use in gastroenteritis, was studied in 71 premature newborns. The frequency of diarrhea and enterocolitis in 16 healthy newborns who were given human colostrum (group II), was
The prevalence of chronic diarrhea within the U.S. population has been reported to be as high as five per cent, and numerous causes have been identified. Especially in patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis drug therapy should be considered as possible cause. We report a case of chronic
Methicillin resistant Staphylococcal aureus (MRSA) enterocolitis is characterized by high fever, abdominal distension, and watery diarrhea that leads to severe dehydration, shock, a sharp decrease in the white cell counts and sometimes multiple organ failure. Clinically, it can be an another cause
An unusual pattern of eosinophilic infiltration around intestinal crypts was detected in mucosal biopsy specimens of 10 patients with chronic diarrhea, half of whom had evidence of systemic connective tissue disease. The median duration of symptoms was 11 months, and no other explanation for
BACKGROUND
In some adult patients with chronic intractable diarrhea, the diagnosis remains elusive even after detailed evaluations, and colonic or duodenal biopsy specimens may appear unremarkable on routine hematoxylin-eosin staining.
OBJECTIVE
To assess the concentration of mast cells in colonic
The causes of concurrent erythema nodosum (EN) and diarrhea include inflammatory bowel disease, yersiniosis and rarely salmonella (Salmonella typhosa or S. typhimurium). The first case of EN caused by S. enteritidis group B enterocolitis is reported.
OBJECTIVE
A case of Staphylococcus aureus enterocolitis (SEC) misdiagnosed as toxin-negative Clostridium difficile is reported.
CONCLUSIONS
An 82-year-old white man weighing 50 kg (body mass index, 16.8 kg/m(2)) was transported from an assisted living facility to the emergency department with the
We report on the case of a young infant with chronic diarrhea that worsened and turned into hypovolemic shock with methemoglobinemia. We underline and discuss the main features of food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES). FPIES is a non-IgE-mediated food allergy involving tumor necrosis
BACKGROUND
Diarrhea is a frequent complication in children with cancer who received intensive chemotheraputic regimens. It may be caused by several factors, neutropenic enterocolitis (NE) being the most serious.
OBJECTIVE
To study diarrhea in neutropenic cancer patients in the pediatric age group,
BACKGROUND
Diarrhea is the most frequently reported adverse event in mycophenolate mofetil (MMF)-treated transplant patients. The aim of this study was to explore the gastrointestinal tract in MMF-treated renal transplant recipients with persistent afebrile diarrhea to characterize its nature and
Antibiotic treatment alters the composition and metabolic function of the intestinal microbiota. These alterations may contribute to the pathogenesis of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and antibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD). Recent studies are beginning to unravel the contribution of specific
This article is a review of the side-effects of drugs affecting the small and large intestines. Pseudomembranous colitis is caused by antibiotics facilitating an overgrowth of Clostridium difficile. A hemorrhagic colitis, generally self-limiting, can be caused by penicillin, amoxycillin and
Four infants had noninfectious intractable diarrhea, vomiting, anasarca, hepatomegaly, hypoglycemia, and malnutrition within the first 3 months of life. Their parents originated from the same Northeastern part of Quebec, and consanguinity was found in two kindreds. Diarrhea was secretory in three
BACKGROUND
Although diarrhea is a frequent complication in neutropenic patients, its true incidence, risk factors and clinical course have not been investigated prospectively.
METHODS
