A young Arab male, clinically suspected to have ulcerative colitis, was operated upon for fulminant intractable diarrhea with melena. The colon showed severe necrotizing and hemorrhagic colitis which was attributed to an opportunistic infection, viz cytomegalovirus infection. The patient's
During a twelve-month period (1 July 91-30 June 92), feces from 912 persons from the Townsville region in the dry tropics of Queensland, Australia were evaluated by culture and 45 (4.9%) immunocompetent patients were found to be carrying Aeromonas in their stools. All patients were index cases and
Of sixty four children (mean age 20.1 +/- 1.2 mo) with acute bloody diarrhea and high fever, 47 had infection with non-typhoidal Salmonella (NTS) (20), Shigella (15) and enteropathogenic E. coli (EPEC) (12) and were treated with nalidixic acid (NA). The mean duration (h) of presence of macroscopic
In laboratory, epidemiologic and clinical studies of 85 patients with diarrhea admitted to the General Hospital of Fresno County and the San Joaquin County Hospital during part of the summer of 1949 the following features were noted:1. Cultures were positive for Shigella in about 45 per cent of the
Enterotoxigenic Bacteroides fragilis was isolated from stool specimens of 8 of 44 diarrheic individuals (ages, 4 months to 69 years). The individuals had watery diarrhea and intestinal cramping; and infants had hyperthermia, vomiting, and blood in the stools. No recognized enteric pathogens were
Diarrhea is still a major cause of morbidity and mortality among children in developing countries. The Bedouin population of southern Israel is in transition from a nomadic to a settled life-style. We examined maternal knowledge and reported behavior when their children had diarrhea. Mothers defined
We prospectively evaluate the value of fecal blood and fecal leukocytes in predicting whether acute diarrhea in adults is associated with a stool culture positive for a bacterial pathogen. One hundred thirteen patients, aged 19 to 50 years, seen in a two-year period in an urban adult outpatient
Identification of infants with bacterial diarrhea during the first year of life is important to limit potentially serious complications, but indications for stool leukocyte examination and culture are not well defined. The ability of three clinical features--temperature, history of blood in the
A 38-year-old man was admitted to our hospital complaining of 5 episodes of melena without abdominal pain or diarrhea. No abnormalities were noted through an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy, but a proctoscopy revealed a large amount of coagulated blood within the rectum immediately before his
OBJECTIVE

METHODS
A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted between April 1999 and March 2000, among 288 children seen at a pediatric office in Guadalajara, Mexico. The mean age
Acute diarrhea is usually short-lasting; therefore, diagnostic procedures are mainly concerning the degree of dehydration. With longer duration of high fever or bloody diarrhea, microbiologic stool tests are necessary. Proctosigmoidoscopy is indicated in case of dysenteric disease or suspected
Of 427 human immunodeficiency virus-seropositive patients admitted to the Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital from January 1986 through August 1992, seven had Clostridium difficile enteric infection documented by the presence of cytotoxin B in the stool, without other enteric infection. All
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, vomiting, foul eructation, feculent vomiting and melena are among the presenting symptoms of patients with a gastrocolic fistula. A routine physical examination is useful in ruling out the more common causes of the presenting complaints. Barium enema shows the
