gastroenteritis/edema

This report describes a 10-month-old infant who presented with generalised tonic clonic seizures following 2 days of vomiting, diarrhoea and a low-grade fever. The patient was moderately dehydrated and the blood investigations were remarkable for hyponatraemia (126 mEq/l), leukocytosis (19.4 ×

The morphologic changes were studied in the parenchymal and digestive organs of a total of 39 calves with gastroenteritis from which pathogenic Escherichia coli organisms were isolated. A correlation was established between the age of calves and the forms of gastroenteritis manifestation. In 1 to

Acute hemorrhagic edema of childhood is an unusual form of leukocytoclastic vasculitis previously reported in children age 4 months to 3 years. The etiology remains unknown, however, many authors describe the process as an immune-mediated vasculitis in response to a variety of antigenic stimuli. We

We present the case of a child who initially presented with gastrointestinal symptoms suggestive of severe rotavirus gastroenteritis complicated by hyponatraemic dehydration. Appropriate intravenous fluid therapy was administered but the patient, still feverish, developed anasarca probably due to

A 75-year-old man was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of a choking feeling around the esophagus. Laboratory examinations revealed eosinophilia, and high levels of serum immunoglobulin (Ig) E. A computed tomography scan (CT) showed wall thickening of the esophagus and terminal

A 44-year-old man presented with central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO) in his right eye after prolonged vomiting and repeated Valsalva maneuvers associated with gastroenteritis and dehydration. He had no other pertinent medical history, and a subsequent systemic and hematologic evaluation was within

Apart from gastroenteritis, rotavirus has been rarely implicated with some cutaneous disorders such as generalized maculo-papular exanthema, infantile acute hemorrhagic edema and Gianotti-Crosti syndrome. We report a 30-month old toddler boy who developed erythematous macular skin eruptions during

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis is a rare disease with unknown cause. It is characterized by marked eosinophilic infiltration in the gastrointestinal tract. There are few reports that include detailed endoscopic findings of eosinophilic gastroenteritis in the small intestine. A 48-year-old man

Eight patients (five men, three women), mean age 36.9 +/- 13.5 (17-60) yr, were diagnosed to have eosinophilic gastroenteritis. The condition was proved in five patients by biopsies through endoscope, and in three, by operation. All had hypereosinophilia (absolute eosinophil count of

A 30-year-old woman who was 2 weeks postpartum presented with intermittent dysphagia since delivery. Esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD) revealed linear furrowing, trachealization, and a B-type distal esophageal ring with normal appearing stomach and duodenum. Biopsies showed eosinophilic esophagitis.

Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is a rare disease of unknown etiology characterized by eosinophilic infiltration of the gastrointestinal tract wall with various gastrointestinal manifestations. Several organs in the digestive tract may be involved by EG, but biliary tract involvements are rare. We

The protozoan Blastocystis hominis has been considered nonpathogenic, but this classification has come under scrutiny in light of reports in the medical literature indicating it could be the cause of intestinal disorders and, in one case, hypoalbuminemia. Reported here is a severe case of infection

OBJECTIVE Eosinophilic gastroenteritis (EG) is a rare disease characterized by prominent eosinophilic infiltration that may involve a variable depth of one or more gastrointestinal organs. We analyzed the largest number of patients with EG among the studies carried out at a single center in

Twenty-two pigs were inoculated parenterally with various E. coli 0139:K82:H1 preparations. Clinical signs of disease in pigs injected with freeze-thaw extract consisted of early listlessness, diarrhea and, later, hyperirritability of varying intensity in some animals.Hemorrhagic gastroenteritis
