The term Brainerd diarrhea has been applied to outbreaks of chronic watery diarrhea of unknown etiology characterized by acute onset and prolonged duration. Our aim was to describe the histologic changes in gastrointestinal biopsy specimens from patients with Brainerd diarrhea. We examined 52
Indolent γδ T cell lymphomas/leukemias are rare and overlap with the morphological spectrum of large granular lymphocyte (LGL) leukemia. We report an extremely rare case of CD103(+) γδ T LGL leukemia in a patient with celiac disease who presented with refractory diarrhea. Whether the refractory
Proliferation of the lymphoid system should arouse suspicion of a potentially serious illness. We present a 4.5-year-old boy who developed fever, vomiting, diarrhea, lymphadenopathy, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphocytosis, anemia, thrombocytopenia, and increased liver enzymes. Lymph node and bone marrow
Microscopic colitis (MC) is an umbrella term that encompasses lymphocytic colitis (LC) and collagenous colitis (CC). Several histological variants of these 2 entities exist; among them is the uncommon giant cell colitis (GCC), in which histiocytic giant cells (GCs) are present in background of CC or
A 38-year-old man presented with a generalized pruritic maculopapular rash, fever, myalgias, and edema of the face and neck. Laboratory examination revealed eosinophilia, atypical lymphocytosis, and abnormal liver function results. The clinical course was characterized by rapid resolution after
Colonic histopathology in some patients with untreated celiac sprue and refractory sprue has been said to be indistinguishable from lymphocytic colitis, but there have been no objective comparisons on which this is based. The purpose of this study was to determine the prevalence and to characterize
Thirty-four infants (25 Inuit and 9 Caucasians) with protein-energy malnutrition and intractable diarrhea were treated with total parenteral nutrition (TNP) consisting of a casein hydrolysate, a soybean emulsion and dextrose. Initially peripheral veins were used in all the infants, and 22 were
BACKGROUND
Duodenal intraepithelial lymphocytosis (D-IEL) is an early marker for celiac disease (CD). However, the majority of cases are due to non-CD-related conditions.
OBJECTIVE
To identify the predictors of CD when presented with D-IEL.
METHODS
A total of 215 adult patients with D-IEL had
BACKGROUND
Adult onset autoimmune enteropathy (AIE) is a rare condition characterized by diarrhea refractory to dietary therapy diagnosed in patients with evidence of autoimmune conditions. Auto-antibodies to gut epithelial cells and other tissues are commonly demonstrated. Despite increasing
A 47-year-old man had diarrhea in 1965. Four years later, malabsorption syndrome was diagnosed and the patient was found to have mild lymphocytosis. Abdominal lymphoma was suspected, but exploratory laparotomy was normal except for partial villous atrophy of small intestine and slightly enlarged
Lymphocytic colitis (LC) is classically described as a triad of chronic nonbloody, watery diarrhea, normal or nearly normal endoscopy findings, and colonic epithelial lymphocytosis without a thickened subepithelial collagen table (SECT). It is unknown how often patients with colonic epithelial
OBJECTIVE
To assess the evolution of duodenal lymphocytosis (DL), a condition characterized by increased intraepithelial lymphocytes (IELs), over 2 years of follow-up.
METHODS
Consecutive patients undergoing upper endoscopy/histology for abdominal pain, diarrhea, weight loss, weakness or other
Omenn syndrome is a combined immunodeficiency characterized by a generalized erythematous skin rash, enlarged lymph nodes, hepatosplenomegaly, severe susceptibility to infections, eosinophilia, and hyperimmunoglobulinemia E. A 3-month-old girl was admitted to our hospital with a history of recurrent
