Ulcerative Colitis Following Orthotopic Cardiac Transplantation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inflammatory bowel disease following a solid organ transplantation while the patient is receiving immunosuppressive therapy is a rare phenomenon. Here we present a 48-year-old man who underwent cardiac transplantation 9 years earlier and was receiving cyclosporine as immunosuppressive therapy since then, presenting with complaints of rectorrhagia and diarrhea. In follow-up, he was diagnosed as having ulcerative colitis. We also reviewed the literature for similar cases, which yielded very few similar ones.
